Thread Name: BS: What eventually happened to WILSON ?
Subject: RE: BS: What eventually happened to WILSON ?
Well, to answer the question about the Wilson of whom robomatic, fogprince and Ebbie spoke, he floated upon the currents of the world's oceans until being swept into the Gulf of Mexico in September of 2004, just in time to be picked up by Hurricane Ivan. Ivan's winds blew poor Wilson some fifty miles inland of the storm's landfall point along the Florida-Alabama coast, impaling him upon the cross-member of a utility pole near Brewton, Alabama, where he was found by a utility repair crew replacing broken electrical cable. Alas, by the time he was found Wilson had suffered multiple punctures ad lacerations and was totally deflated. All attempts to resuscitate him failed. Funeral services were held at the landfill north of Brewton near Interstate 65.
