  3. Dryad's Saddle Mushroom!

    While walking in the woods we came upon this huge pore fungus called Dryad's Saddle described as "…an annual mushroom commonly found attached to dead logs and stumps or on living hardwood trees at one point with a thick stem. …On the underside one can see the pores that are characteristic of the genus; they are made up of tubes packed together closely. The mushroom's smell resembles that of watermelon rind." [wikipedia]

    The greater [Louis'] autocracy, the more the existence of a dissident sect appeared to him an unacceptable rift in submission to the royal will. “One law, one King, one God” was his concept of the state, and after twenty-five years at its head, his political arteries had hardened and his capacity for tolerating differences atrophied. He had acquired the disease of divine mission so often disastrous to rulers, convincing himself that it was the Almighty’s will “that I should be His instrument in bringing back to His ways all those who are subject to me.” -- The March of Folly

    The greater Trump's autocracy, the more the existence of detractors (Jimmy Kimmel, "#FakeNews") appears to him an unacceptable rift in submission to the royal will. “One law, one King, one God” was his concept (#ChristianNationalism) of the state (#UnitaryExecutiveTheory)… He has acquired the disease of divine mission so often disastrous to rulers, convincing himself that it is the Almighty’s will that I should be His instrument in bringing back to His ways all those who are subject to me. ("Only I can fix it.", "I am your retribution.")

    By Interviews by Chris Broughton

    ‘I’d just made two films in America. Shooting on a Lancashire farm was very different. There was mud everywhere – and we’d be eating dripping, jam butties and fried eggs in buns’

Keine Frage, alleine die Besetzung mit Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, Donald Pleasence, James Coburn und Hannes Messemer ist selbst heutzutage noch ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal, das seinesgleichen sucht.
