Loatus

Instead of a hiatus.  Yeah, I'll be gone for a while to deal with a family crisis that has not only scaled new heights of douchebaggery...it has climbed OVER THEM

I'll post new blogs and pages I'm following periodically.  See you back here soon, ok?

Can I Eat A Little Somethin' First?
















Robert Alton Harris, the subject of the documentary Procedure 769, shown here in a 1990 mugshot. 

Harris and his brother, Daniel, killed two 16 year-old boys in San Diego in 1978, one of whom was the son of the police officer who arrested the Harrises.  Robert Harris was executed by lethal injection on April 21, 1992.  More grisly details of their crimes here. 

If Robert Harris is not in the Guinness Book of World Records for Largest Last Meal, he ought to be.  His last meal?  A 21-piece bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken, two large Domino's pizzas, a bag of jelly beans, a Pepsi six-pack and a pack of Camels.

Swedish parents Elisabeth Hallin and Lasse Diding, in protest of the 1982 Swedish law requiring the approval of particular child names (originally enacted as a precautionary measure against families not born into nobility giving their children noble names), named their child Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116. 

It is pronounced Albin.
