guillotine

Today is the 30 year anniversary of the last time that a guillotine was used for an execution in France. The attending doctor reported that the executee, Hamida Djandoubi, remained responsive for 30 seconds after the seperation from his body. Thankfully France wised up and got rid of the death penalty in 1981.

Not Me

I am not an Anthropology professor at Miami (OH). I am not an associate Fellow in Experimental Neurobiology at the Neuroscience Institute. I was not on the Cosby show and this isn't my family. I am also not a professional basketball player. I was also never a character on Inspector Morse.

I should probably not look myself up on Google.

The Long Weekend

There isn't much to say about the game that hasn't been said. It was kind of a bummer. At least Michigan lost too.

Harry Potter

I finally finished reading Harry Potter this weekend. It was pretty good. It'll be strange to not have any more books coming out. I'm also not sure about how they are going to make this one into a movie. I'm sure they'll figure it out.

Fried Chicken.

Sunday night I hear the door open and Mark, Tara and Larry come strolling up with some KFC. It was freaking good. I hadn't had KFC in years. It was a nice surprise. The conversation turned to fried foods and what tastes best fried. We came up with some good ideas. I'll post the ones that work.

Until then: good night and good luck.
