I don't consider a possible future for my junk as a relic to be 'creepy' at all

Maybe not, but a relic's value is based on how many rubes can be roped in to view it. How confident are you that your junk is sufficient to serve as a tourist attraction for the faithful?

a fitting future for equipment so many found fond favor with in life . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Police have dropped the charges. Apparently they couldn't find an injured party.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

There we have it! Police are unable to find god. Add god to the milk cartons. "Have you seen me?".

Funny how many times Fry's blasphemy has been repeated in the media.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

Isn't Stephen Fry the same guy the said victims of rape should grow up?

He also apologised:

"I of course apologise unreservedly for hurting feelings the way I did. That was never my purpose.

"There are few experiences more terrible, traumatic and horrifying than rape and abuse and if I gave the impression that I belittled those crimes and the effects they have on their victims then I am so, so sorry.

"It seems I must have utterly failed to get across what I was actually trying to say and instead offended and upset people who didn't deserve to be offended or upset."

Nice try at poisoning the well, though.

Apologizing for someone taking what you said the wrong way, is not the same as apologizing for what you said...

I never heard about that.
I've always liked Fry, but that was a very fucked up thing to say, apology or not.
