Kelly Short and Bryan Cranston 2

I’ve got another one of those strange situations, and this one’s weird.
Ok? You know the actor James Earl Jones, right? And, there’s the civil rights activist, Dr. Martin Luther King. He was killed by James Earl Ray.
Ok… James Earl Jones is a black man and in fact spoke in Lauderhill, Florida for Dr. King. Funnily enough, the company promoting the speech made a plaque commemorating James Earl Jones for “keeping the dream alive” during the speech, but quite by mistake, printed “James Earl Ray” instead of James Earl Jones. Ha! Ha ha! I think that’s hilarious. But do you see the connection?
It gets deeper. Martin Luther King has in his name, Martin Luther, who was the founder of Protestantism. In effect, he was the world’s first reverend. And Martin Luther King was famous for being a reverend. So, James Earl Jones is connected to James Earl Ray, and both are connected to Martin Luther King, who is connected to Martin Luther.
And I have two more men who kind of fit into this crapstorm. John Wayne is an actor, just like James Earl Jones. John Wayne Gacy is a killer, just like James Earl Ray. They have similar names, just like Martin Luther King and Martin Luther. Most out of the ordinary.
So, it’s my belief that James Earl Ray and John Wayne Gacy will both come back alive, build a time machine, go back in time dressed as clowns, and assassinate Martin Luther, and because of that, nobody would have bothered to inhabit the Americas, so civil rights would never have been an issue (the English resolved their problems without a civil war), which would have made James Earl Jones and Martin Luther King happy, even though they wouldn’t have existed.
