Hearty Legatees Plot The Final Dinner Legacy
A bizarre will leaves Fritz Bernard Behr of London $1,500 to fund annual dinners for seven male friends until all but one perish. The funds swell with time, potentially funding lavish banquets up to $60 per plate for the last survivor. The piece muses on romance, motives, and Swiftian wit behind the plan and its grim odds. In Mission Acres California a bantam hen hatches a turkey chick and then shelters under the turkey to keep warm, a nightly habit that persists as the two birds grow together.
