<p>^ I imagine that's what the YPU sounds like on occasion. </p>
<p>People so far to the left and right they're hanging off.</p>
<p>urgh! conspiracy theories so funny, my lips laugh even before my brain gets the message.
Listen, Skull and Bones is everywhere. They would get away with it. You know, one of those cases where you hear nothing after the BIG blast? This is one of them. </p>
<p>BUT, my uncle always says a secret is kept by "ONE person, and one soul onlayyy"
We will see how right he is. He will be 90 this September, a good enough time to give the case to evolve... or disappear.</p>
<p>didn't read the article from OP but i read somehwere that prescott bush (dubya's grandfather) had something to do with stealing geronimo's bones.. true? :(</p>
<p>If anything, we'll probably just revert back to the 'legal' precedent we use to deal with the stealing of things that belong to Native Americans.</p>
<p>Today's NYT on the lawsuit:
<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/20/us/20geronimo.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=geronimo&st=cse%5B/url%5D">http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/20/us/20geronimo.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=geronimo&st=cse</a></p>
<p>Ha! The key is those Fort Sill Apaches who oppose digging up the current grave! I bet they can get some really good pro bono legal counsel to help them with that position, lots of help with their expenses, and compensation for their trouble, too! If you never disturb the existing grave, you never have any evidentiary basis for believing that Bones has anything belonging to Geronimo. (And, of course, unless you believe Sen. Bush Never Told A Lie it's overwhelmingly likely that Bones DOESN'T have anything belonging to Geronimo.)</p>
<p>Alexandra Robbins discusses this subject extensively in her book, Secrets of the Tomb, along with lots of other good Skull & Bones tales.<br>
stacym, I believe she ties it to what you've heard about the involvement of one of the elder Bush family members.</p>
<p>No comment.</p>
<p>is skull and bones only for undergraduate?</p>
<p>Pretty sure. You get "tapped" to join your junior year on tap night.</p>
<p>^ I was about to make a pun on the word 'tapped', but I think I'll leave it to the imaginations of my less prudent fellows.</p>
<p>so does the society even have a purpose?
does it do community service or anything helpful like that?</p>
<p>^ Read about it on the internet.</p>
<p>It seems to be a networking club; Supreme Court members, captains of industry, Presidents, Congressmen, Media execs, Defense contractors, etc. </p>
<p>A good number of them (and their children) have been members of Skull and Bones, and so the conspiracy rumors fly like mosquitoes in June.</p>
<p>I want to be in the S&B.</p>
<p>^ Good luck with that.</p>
<p>I'm not trying to be condescending, but it didn't build up it's elite and secret reputation through being accessible.</p>
<p>If the S&B is everywhere.....
Then maybe they're here right now.
(insert scary music here)</p>
<p>^ Lol, exactly.</p>
<p>I'm a member of the Bones, but that's all I can tell you.</p>
<p>then why tell us anything</p>
<p>

Its purpose is to make people ask questions. </p>
<p>Given the level of interest on this and related threads, I'd say it works. :rolleyes:</p>
