Former Death Row Prisoner Accidentally Electrocutes Himself

Lawrence Baker, convicted of first-degree murder in a 1979 killing, had been saved from Death Row in 1987 and re-sentenced to life in the general population.

However, that didn't stop him from being electrocuted in a chair (actually his own aluminum cell toilet). 

Baker had been watching TV and using a homemade pair of headphones when he sat on the john.

Apparently the jerry-rigged wiring short circuited, and gave him a deadly zap.

Lieutenant Felix Moncla

On November 23, 1953, a US Air Force F-89C jet fighter interceptor was dispatched from Kinross Air Force Base near Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, to identify an intruder that had appeared on radar.

For thirty minutes, the jet raced out over Lake Superior under guidance from radar operators at a remote station on the Keweenaw Peninsula. 

Suddenly, the return from the jet merged with that of the bogie it was chasing. 

The IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) signal from the jet was lost. 

The radar blip from the F-89 never reappeared. 

An extensive search of the lake and shoreline over the next five days yielded no trace of the F-89 jet or its crew, pilot Lt. Felix Eugene Moncla Jr (picture). and radar operator Lt. Robert L. Wilson.

Why is the day after Thanksgiving called Black Friday?

The day's name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving.

Use of the term started before 1961 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. 

Later an alternative explanation was made: that retailers traditionally operated at a financial loss ("in the red") from January through November, and "Black Friday" indicates the point at which retailers begin to turn a profit, or "in the black".

Valentine's Day is in violation of Muslim beliefs

Saudi Arabia finds Valentine's Day to be in violation of Muslim beliefs. 

In order to ensure residents don't secretly send gifts to their Valentine's, the government orders all florists and gift shops to remove anything red or otherwise considered to be a symbol of romance prior to the holiday. 

Apparently the ban on the holiday isn't entirely successful and the country now has a thriving Valentine's Day black market where lovers can buy red roses and other tokens of romance at around six times their ordinary prices.

The second person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel died from slipping on banana peel

Bobby Leach was the second person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel (the first was a woman named Annie Taylor), but that's not what killed him. 

He spent many years on the lecture circuit, telling about his harrowing adventure. 

In 1926, he slipped on a banana peel. His injured leg became gangrenous and had to be amputated. 

He died of complications from the operation.

woman tries to trick her husband with a letter to see if he is cheating....

Woman Tries To Trick Her Husband With A Letter To See If He Is Cheating:

Many people feel insecurities in their relationships.  One day you might wonder why he is staying late, or if she is really out with her friends.  Whether you are suspicious or you are worried, one way to ease this anxiety is to simply talk about it.

While that is the mature and easiest way to figure things out, you can always come up with a more inventive solution.  In this fictional story, the wife is worried that her husband might not be as devoted to their relationship as she is, so she decides to give him a test.  She gets results, but it definitely wasn't what she expected.

The other day, a girl wanted to know how her hubby would react if she left without telling him where she had gone.  So she decided to write him a letter saying she is tired of him and didn't want to live with him anymore.  After writing it, she put the letter on the table in the bedroom and hid under the bed.

When her hubby came back home, he saw the letter and read it.  Then, he wrote his own message down and began to sing and dance while changing his clothes.  He took out his phone, dialed someone, then said: "Hey babe, I'm just changing clothes then I will join you. As for the other fool, it has finally dawned on her that I was fooling around behind her back so she left me.  See you soon, honey!" Then her hubby walked out of the room.

News: Naked Guy Falls Through Ceiling Into Women’s Bathroom Before Assaulting Elderly Man

Dumbass. That trick only works in Porky's movies.

Naked Guy Falls Through Ceiling Into Women’s Bathroom Before Assaulting Elderly Man

On Saturday, a 26-year-old Boston man snuck into a woman's bathroom at Logan Airport, took off all his clothes, and climbed up into a crawl space. Unfortunately for him, he was a little too heavy for the hiding spot and came crashing through the ceiling

After tumbling through the ceiling into the woman's bathroom, Cameron Shenk ran out into the airport naked and began assaulting a random elderly man. He reportedly bit the 84-year-old man's ear and attempted to choke him with his own cane.

The man was taken to the hospital to have his ear treated.

Shenk has been charged with "attempted murder, mayhem, assault and battery on a person over 60, assault and battery on a police officer, lewd and lascivious conduct and malicious destruction to property."

Shakespeare's Work E-Mails Of The Day

From McSweeney's.

All the world’s a stage,
and all the men and women merely players:
they have their exits and their entrances;
So let’s reconnect on this over the weekend.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Feel free to reach out if you have further Q’s.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
We’ve got some great momentum going here;
Will this be done by EOD? By COB?

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than will fit in our engagement strategy.

Hath ye spied that client feedback? It is an email
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind.
It’s an optics thing.

My only love sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me
The only K-cups left are blueberry!
