Hey, if you’re gonna play Jesus for a day, you might as well do it RIGHT! (Lovely photos at the link.)

Can you believe this isn’t a headline from The Onion?

The Boy Who Beat The Falls
Lady Morgana sent me an interesting story about a 7-year-old boy who went over Niagara Falls back in 1960, and survived. The survivor describes the experience of going over the falls as “total vertigo and the best way I can describe it is I was in a cloud — a cloud of mist. It was peaceful and totally uneventful.” Hmmmm… Excuse me while I add ‘Death By Niagara Falls’ to my list of potential suicide methods…
Anyway, here’s the full story if you’re interested:

The Buried History Of New York City
Don’t you just love the buried history of cities? I know I do! Turns out there are hundreds (thousands?) of slave graves in the Ground Zero area of NYC. Hmmmm… time to get out the shovel and see what I can dig up here in Chicago?
The Autopsy You’ve Been Waiting For…
The full Michael Jackson autopsy is available for your perusal. Don’t you think that the best part about celebrities dying is getting to read every little tidbit about their bodies after they’re dead? Or maybe that’s just me?
Good News Du Jour
They found the Auschwitz sign!
Figures…
You know, I always watch those lame VH1 reality shows, but the one time I decide to boycott the show because I hate the main character (the loathsome “Megan” of “Megan Wants A Millionaire”), one of the contestants turns out to be a murderer. And now they’ve cancelled the show, and the other show that the guy is in too (“I Love Money 3”). Of all the rotten luck!
Fascinating Forensics!
For those of you who have been following the Caylee Anthony murder case (you know, adorable toddler killed, allegedly, by her monstrous mother and buried in her grandparents’ yard), I recommend you read the autopsy report (as suggested by The Witch Aquarius). I can never get enough of these things. My biggest regret in life is that I won’t be able to read my own autopsy report…
The Greedy Ugly People
Seems I have a new morbid sightseeing spot to go check out here in Chicagoland ASAP! The greedy ugly people at Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip actually dug up bodies and dumped them in a pile in a remote corner of the cemetery so that they could resell the plots! Why, oh why, have I never explored this cemetery before now??? By the time I get there, they will probably have the pile all cleaned up or barricaded off. So sad…
Oh, and these people should do major time for something this horrific.
So, Apparently Bill Killed Bill
