Zen Rfanklib is the name of the old Ben Franklin store in New Ulm, Minnesota. The store lost franchise status in early 2006, when the owners failed to make payments and was forced to change it's name to Zen Franklib, switching the B and the N and then flipping the N 90 degrees. The franchise still pushed them to change their name, since its similarity to Ben Franklin was still evident, so they swapped the F and the R to make Zen Rfanklib. This image can be found on several sites on the Internet as a symbol of New Ulm eccentricity, especially on a fan club operated by New Ulm citizens.
The store
Since 2004, the store had been falling into disrepair. Birds and rats began to live in the store and multiply rapidly. Fecal matter was found on merchandise. The rats and mice began spreading to other stores via steam ducts and an exterminator was called in. He offered to do Zen Rfanklib for free, but was refused by the owners.
The situation came to a head when in early 2007, police officers went into the store. In a report filed by one of the men, it was said that he began to feel nauseous because of the smell. In early March, New Ulm Public Utilites cut utility service to the store because of the potential threat to the health of their meter readers.
In a local newspaper article in August, it was said that since June 2007, there had been a clean-up effort by the owners, to the extent that they hired people to help. As of October 2007, they have made progress, but not yet reopened.

FIPADL is a style of legal case briefing coined by Dr Mark O'Gorman, Ph.D (Political Sciences) of Maryville College. It is an acronym to help students quickly brief a case and is an alternative to the IRAC method.
The explanation and implementation is as follows:
F- Facts: This section of the brief includes the relevant facts of the case in question (i.e. Who did what to Whom).
I- Issues: This section reiterates the relevant issues of the case, basically the "why" of why said case is being heard.
P- Politics: This section highlights the political atmosphere of the time. The Presidency, Congress, War or Peace circumstances, Economic environment, the Justiceships' political ideology (e.g. Berger Court or Warren Court) and other extra political factors that contribute to the ruling.
A- Analysis: This section reviews the facts and issues and provides the necessary connectors in order to determine how the facts relate to the issues. Because of "x" fact, "y" issue is pertinent to this case
D- Decision/Dissent: This section contains a brief review of the Justices' decisions, the Vote (if a Supreme Court or COLR case) and a review of concurrent and dissenting decision
L- Living Law Implementation: This is the conclusion and reiteration of precedent set by the case's ruling. "Because of this decision a) We will always... or b) We will never..." (e.g. Miranda v. Arizona- Because of the precedent lain down in this ruling we will always be entitled to know our rights when detained or arrested)

Raphael Adolini is a fictional character from the Predator series. He is an Italian-born Moroccan-raised Barbary pirate. He was one of the most feared pirates of his day, but because of the mysterious disappearance of him and his whole crew at the height of his career, others like Blackbeard have been remembered with more notoriety. His ship, the “Muerte Negra,” was feared especially because unlike many ships which flew the Jolly Roger, Adolini’s ship flew a red flag, the “jolie rouge,” which signaled to its captives death to all. The phrase “dead men tell no tales,” has been ascribed to Adolini. It was carved above his cabin door, when his ship was found floating vacant, east of the Bermuda Triangle in 1718, The flintlock pistol rumored to have been one of Adolini’s favorite prizes was taken from Ivar the Boneless after Adolini attacked and plundered the ship of the Viking pirate in April 1715.
At the end of Predator 2, Michael Harrigan is given that pistol by the Predators as a prize after he kills one of their own. This is the first reference to his existence. The story of Adolini's demise was later told in the Dark Horse comic book series.
