Shauna sent me an interesting (and somewhat ghastly) link to the review of an infanticide case in Australia
This is an interestingly gory murder of a newborn, complete with post mortem pics of the baby as well as the female parts the father removed.
Why did the father remove the female parts? Â Why ask why?
Ain’t that peculiar? Peculiar as can be? Turns out this 12-year-old suffers from something called “Cleidocranial Dysplasia with Encephalomalacia”. That’s easy for ME to say!
Read all about his case at Pediatric OnCall.
Thanks to Elizabeth for the link.
If you’re gonna fall, it’s probably best not to land on a knife.
Ouch – There’s Something In My Eye!
Thanks to Evelyn for the link.
On April 6, 2008, at the start of a marathon in Colombo, Sri Lanka, a bomb went off, killing 11 people instantly and wounding at least 50. Chela sent me photographs of the aftermath – and they are NOT for the squeamish.
Crime Scene Steri-Clean, LLC will clean up your crime scene, suicide, or biohazard. And, best of all, they have before and after pictures of their handiwork on their website! (Under the ‘Services’ menu.) I used to think this would be a great job, but now I just think it would be entirely too much work…
Thanks to BashEmAll for the link.
I know I’m late in posting this, but I just stumbled across it again and thought to myself, why on earth haven’t I posted this before? And so, here it is…
Remember back in 2007 when Hulk Hogan’s idiotic teenage son, Nick Hogan, crashed his car while drag racing and put his friend John Graziano into a coma with severe head trauma? (To which the even more idiotic Hulk later said, “In my belief, this is to make John a better person.”)
Well, here are photographs of the car wreckage (amazing that anyone survived at all!):
Nick Hogan Crash Photos
And here is a video showing the shocking extent of Graziano’s injuries – half of his head is missing! This makes Hogan’s comments even MORE insensitive. Sometimes you have to think that death would be the TRUE “blessing”.
Of course, it would be un-Chicago of me to not root for the Bulls…
Man Gored To Death During Bullfighting Festival (Video)
Here in Chicago, people like to cross the street when one direction has cleared, then stand along the line in the middle of the lanes awaiting the other side to clear. I’ve often thought this is unsound survival behavior, to put your fate so fully in the hands of another human being who is probably talking on a cell phone or messing with their iPod in the car. This video illustrates quite well why I do not engage in this behavior, myself.
(Warning: The footage, although not particularly graphic, is quite disturbing to witness.)
Some quite unpleasant looking poison ivy outbreaks.
The main page is helpful too, as I was not aware what poison ivy looks like. (I grew up in poison oak country.)
Thanks to Katchaya for the link.
