The Dead

It's a two-fer! Frankly, I'm not sure that either will be particularly missed.

First off, we have religious leader, Kenneth Grant, who basically played Robin to Aleister Crowley's Batman. Crowley for those of you who mercifully don't know, was the founder of the mystical order, Ordo Templi Orientis; a magically inclined group that I think mostly served as an excuse for orgies and drug use.

Personally, I don't have any problem with people looking for excuses for orgies and drug use it's their business entirely, as far as I'm concerned.. However, when you garish up the simple act of screwing and getting high with ridiculous rituals, funny costumes, absurd claims to magical abilities and references to extraterrestrial god-things, it's just plain silly.  

Frankly, I've often wondered if the whole thing isn't a practical joke.

From there, we move onto sweet, old lady; Dorothea Puente. She was a kindly older woman that rented out her home in Sacramento to other elderly people that were down on their luck. Eventually, it was discovered that she was very serious about collecting her rent on time. Very serious indeed.
