Futility Closet

Last words of executed murderers:

• George Appel (1928): “Well, folks, you’ll soon see a baked Appel.”
• James W. Rodgers (1960): (asked for a last request) “Why, yes — a bulletproof vest.”
• Frederick Wood (1963): “Gentlemen, you are about to see the effects of electricity upon Wood.”
• James French (1966): “I have a terrific headline for you in the morning: ‘French Fries’.”
• Jimmy Glass (1987): “I’d rather be fishing.”

In 1856, English murderer William Palmer stood on the gallows and asked, “Are you sure it’s safe?”

I thought that these quotes were pretty funny, I know tragic, but funny.  I personally like the bulletproof vest one.  That is one smart person there, had to try.

There are many many quotes on there and simply random facts like:  That a female ferret will die if she can’t find a mate when she is in heat.  That is a very interesting fact to me, and I thought it was horrible when I felt the urge and couldn’t get any release….how horrible would it be to actually die from it.

There are also games, poems, etc, it’s rather easy to see how people get addicted to technology and the internet, there are a lot of possibilities that can take up hours and hours of your time and you could do something different every five minutes.  Chatrooms, forums, reading posts, things like facebook….the list just keeps going.
