Mister Bowles is Usanian instead of American. Incorrect use of the word: american[edit]

The whole dwellers of America, from Alaska to Patagonia, are americans. This is a logical, simple common

sense definition. It is a self explanatory thing. On the other hand, the specific country of origin of

mister Bowles is the U.S.A. For such reason he and all the dwellers of this place are referred to as:

usanians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.61.204.254 (talk) 06:14, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments on his execution[edit]

I believe Bowles is not yet executed. None of the usual databases have any record of his execution. Also, Florida did not perform an electrocution since the botched execution of Allen Lee Davis in 1999. Grantmclaine (talk) 19:07, 11 February 2010 (UTC)grantmclaine[reply]

Gary Bowles has NOT been executed as of August 2010. He received a stay in 2009 and his last appeal was denied in July 2010. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.66.170.228 (talk) 02:02, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bowles was executed by lethal injection on August 22, 2019, at Florida State Prison in Starke. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 03:21, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Milton Bradley[edit]

Is it necessary to point out that one of Bowles's victims is not businessman Milton Bradley? There is also a former major league baseball player by that name, and both are well known enough to not be confused with a Bowles victim. 47.137.181.252 (talk) 06:44, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
