Reply to TIL eels swim from a lake in Australia through stormwater drains and across the ocean to lay eggs in New Caledonia where they die. Their eggs hatch and make the return journey back to the lake they came from. by Aussiewhiskeydiver

>When the majestic majority make it to the salt water of the ocean, receptors in their nose trigger a physiological change that puts a butterfly’s life cycle to shame. Their eyes enlarge and undergo pigment transformation to improve their vision in the salt water, their pectoral fins enlarge to rub more salt in Nemo’s wounds, their stomach disintegrates as they have eaten their last duckling and their anus shrivels to keep the salt water at bay.
>The fasting, owl-eyed, anus-less eels then swim along the coast of Australia, up past the northern tip of New Zealand (where their Kiwi brethren join them), and further north to the southern tip of New Caledonia, presumably using the slip stream of P&O cruises the whole 2,020km. Here, the females release millions of eggs, of which an estimated one per cent survive.
>The adult eels—after doing everything in their power to give their spawn a tropical life free from Sydney Uni college kids pissing in their pond—die.

Two of his three sons were still alive at the time of the William's second marriage to Emma (from the photo, not a looker).
>Emma was one of several daughters of a minor German prince, with very moderate marriage prospects, and her parents were enthused by the idea that their daughter would become a queen on her wedding day.
[...]
>An immensely popular member of the Dutch Royal Family, Queen Emma served as regent for her daughter, Queen Wilhelmina, during the latter's minority from 1890 until 1898.

Reply to comment by juggarjew in Gun stockpile in hospital closet leads to $63K in fines from NJ health dept. by J-W-L
Yep. Has to be an issue with wife/girlfriend/kids where the dude needed a short term solution.
It was the marketing director of the hospital. In a closet in what seems to be spare office he had use of. Which (the office) was locked - although the guy, the owner of the hospital and cleaning staff did have access/keys. https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/legal-regulatory-issues/marketing-director-arrested-after-cache-of-guns-found-at-new-jersey-hospital.html
As long as they were in a closet and basically hidden or hidden under things and in a personal office....not much difference (risk wise) than having stuff in a closet in an apartment where building maintenance have door keys.
Was it not NJ and not a hospital, it would be a total non-issue (re: storing some stuff in a closet in a locked office at work with the owner's knowledge).
