The guy on the left is named William West. The guy on the right is also named William West.
The first William West was sent to Leavenworth Prison in Kansas in 1901.
When the second William West arrived at the same prison for a minor crime two years later in 1903, he was told that he was already in prison serving a life sentence for murder.
After some confusion, the staff realised that they had two inmates with the same name that looked pretty much the same.
The two men were not related in any way, and law enforcement quickly realised that a more reliable method of identification was necessary.
The case of William West and William West changed the face of forensics. Fingerprinting soon became the standard method for identifying criminals.

#16 Whatever the desired change, target the children first. Do it well enough and they'll even betray their own parents. Watch the hand that rocks the cradle.

Pandora,
The third Reich lasted 12 years. They couldn't really profit from those education. It was just like the germans already were at this time.

Pandora,
The hands that've been "rocking the cradle" in the American public school system for the last 50 years have been the Marxist Education majors who graduated in the '60s.
The results are plain to see in the angry automatons who believe they're thinking for themselves as they loot and burn our great cities.
