The book also revealed that Karlson was an admirer of Adolf Hitler and Nazism, and that on at least one occasion he threw a party at his home to celebrate Hitler's birthday.
I hope he suffered
I find it so odd that stoners celebrate on April 20, because that's Hitler's birthday.
Perfect response.
Has upper management written all over it.
There are only 366 days in a year. They all have some heinous activity that has happened on them at some point.
I mean, sure, of course. But you gotta admit that Hitler kind of stands out, right? After all, it's fucking Hitler. He's the guy that killed Hitler.
The thing is - you go into a group of 30 people and there is a huge chance that two people share a birthday. As someone said - there is always a "weird" date, someone's birthday, someone's death, country falling apart or whatever.
If you get 30 Hitlers in a room they all will share the same birthday. Isn’t probability crazy?
I fell like whatever alternative timeline you're pulling them from, at least few could have been born on a different day.
Look up the history of 420 it's funny
