Decidedly Grim

A police car runs into a crowd in Egypt. Sickening.

Ghastly!

It is hard to believe that in 2011 such atrocities are still committed in the name of an ancient “God”. Humans sicken me. Where’s the Zombie Apocalypse when you really need it???

Ghastly!

For those of us fascinated by car crashes (and, let’s face it, who isn’t?), here is a mesmerizing compilation of mayhem and tragedy (some authentic, some cinematic).

Fascinating photograph, isn’t it? Kinda looks a bit like Abe Lincoln… but if only he had suffered such a minor wound! This is John Parkhurst, who suffered a gunshot wound of the temporal bone during the Civil War. It would have been simply ghastly to be injured back in those days, don’t you think? Even worse to have been injured in ancient times. Looks like John got off lucky though… he seems to have survived.

Another gruesome old image from the Otis Historical Archives of the National Museum of Health and Medicine. This one depicts a Civil War gunshot wound to the back. I actually would have guessed that the Skinner from Dexter got ahold of this guy.

I love the e-mail that I get.  It’s always filled with fun little atrocious things like this.

Thanks for the picture, Pamazon!
