I was in kindergarten and the teacher pointed out that 'we need to fix that' referring to my left handed writing. My mother must have given her a stern warning because I never heard anything else about it.
Our high school mascot was Robert E. Lee in the form of Yosemite Sam, guns and all. Our fight song was Dixie and there were confederate flags everywhere. We were also still doing desegregation busing until at least 2002, so there's also that.
Why even bother with an election at that point? It wouldn't make any difference because obviously they would overturn any results they don't like, even if they themselves were elected on the same ballot

I call BS, there's not enough room for this sort of detail, you'd get 'as described previously in [1-4, 9, 84, 86, 150-160, unpublished observations]' half of which are unaccessible journals, out of print book chapters, and abstracts in German
My favorite is recursive bad citations in the method section. As in, citing a paper that cited a previous paper that itself cited a previous paper that cited an abstract with no detailed methodology whatsoever, leaving the true methods a mystery unless you get the senior author to reply to emails.
