Stickleson L. Mann, AKA Stickman, the ghostly figure with appearances in almost all “DO-NOT” signs across the globe, has finally been apprehended and put to justice. After a lengthy court session, he was found guilty of thousands of crimes, including feeding the ducks, loitering and not minding the gap. 

But the more impressive story is that of his miraculous recoveries: Mann has slipped on slippery surfaces, gotten shocked by electrical equipment, and dived in shallow pools, but has always recovered. In fact, according to a DNA test, Mann’s entire family line is responsible for many physical feats, the earliest of which being Booga L. Mann of 1,900 BC with his hunting expertise.

Of course, the court case would not be fully covered without mentioning Stickson L. Mann’s biggest advocate, Mrs. Styckmun, his wife and partner in crime. Until their discovery, they were said to have lived in adjacent public restrooms.
