The full catalogue looks like this:

As we wonder why the live-action version of The Flintstones hasn’t been remade at least once, we might recall that it was on this date in 1989 that French law enforcement officials admitted that they had a computer problem:  41,000 Parisians had received letters over the prior weekend accusing them of murder, extortion, prostitution, drug trafficking and other felonious pursuits.   But consolingly– if bewilderingly– to the accused, they were asked only to pay minor fines.

When the Gendarmerie came clean, they admitted that the recipients of the notices were in fact guilty of unpaid parking and traffic fines.  Revised invoices were mailed– along with letters of apology.
