Phantom 2,465 Posted November 28, 2014 20 years ago today Jeffrey Dahmer was beaten to death. Yeah I was gonna mention him as "another comedy legend" but I thought that would be too far. His killer still lives but he's a Crazy Black Guy In Prison so you never know what lies round the corner. It was just a slapstick comedy routine that went wrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,397 Posted December 25, 2014 Warning: These pictures taken in Bucharest on Dec. 25 1989 could put you off your Christmas dinner. Thanks for using spoiler tags. I well remember discussions I had about the morality of that incident. For reasons I explained in our topic for that, I am no fan of executing people, and I wasn't then. After some thought about the circumstances of the Romanian revolt, I decided that this was a spotless implementation of the answer to question 103 of General Bayo's One hundred fifty questions to a guerrila and consequently not so bad. The Romanian revolution was violent, but the execution of the Ceaușescus helped ending hostilities considerably and so averted more deaths. This gory episode may not have been a Good Thing, it certainly was the Right Thing. I don't doubt this account of flexible morality will give you food for thought, should you need any in these days dedicated to digestion of a more physical nature. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,269 Posted January 3, 2015 Influential comic book artist Will Eisner died 10 years ago today at age 87. Oh, I remember how I and others used to troll all the comic book nerds we knew (both real and online), about that! "Will Eisner died LOL!" "How's the legendary Will Eisner doing? Coming to any conventions soon?" It was fun revenge cos I most of those nerds are/were the exact same kind of people who would have made Senna jokes the day after he died (even though I was too young to enjoy F1 or know how good Senna was at the time of his death). Well the British ones are/were anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,269 Posted January 4, 2015 Whoops. Forgot to point out, on 1st January 1995 they found multi-murdering uber-weirdo Fred West dead in his prison cell, after hanging himself. Worth pointing out 4 days late I think. Was anyone else faintly hoping Sutcliffe would do a "20th anniversary special" on himself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,269 Posted January 19, 2015 One third of WCW wrestling faction The Jersey Triad, Scott "Bam Bam" Bigelow 8 years ago 2007 was a bad year in deaths for me, lots of people I liked died. And it seems like many wrestlers died. Mike Awesome was another one, I didn't like that news. There was also that one other wrestler whose name I can't quite remember, it's almost as if he's been erased from history or something... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
