Overheard

And this, fellow readers, is why Miss Cellania is probably the best writer we've ever had. A thing of beauty. -YesButNoButYes

...Miss Cellania who’s wonderfully funny and knowledgeable and also happens to write for Mental Floss. Her personal blog is updated as often as any multi-contributor blog site and has some wonderful gems... -Infinite Well

Miss Cellania has links, doctored-up photos staring Miss C. herself and YouTube videos from anywhere and everywhere on the internet. If it's funny, you'll probably see it first on her blog. -Suzanne Broughton

Miss Cellania has a site that is to die for. Whenever it’s time for a bit of a smile, interspersed with a gaffaw or two, I head on over there. -Compass Points

If you’re jonesing for more links you may want to visit Miss Cellania’s blog. Or should I say blogs. She’s like the blogosphere’s version of that Jamaican family from In Living Color. She has more blogs than they had jobs. If she starts contributing to one more blog I’m going to stage an intervention. -Cynical-C

I could never in a million years come up with half the wonderful facts, news, links et al that pepper every post she creates. -Mad Baggage

It’s a fantastic set of funny and interesting links, jokes and pictures that she compiled *every day*! -Neatorama

She finds the coolest, funniest stuff day after day. How on earth she does this I have no clue. -NYC Educator

I don't even know how I found Miss C, but I remember the first time I was there, I burned my chocolate chip cookies. I just couldn't stop browsing! Fun stuff over there. -Boomer Chick

If you're not regularly heading over and reading her well compiled, link-filled-goodness posts already, then maybe you should take a step back and do some self reflection and introspection to make sure your life is headed the direction it needs to be and that you're on a path that is fulfilling to you and your fellow man, as a person and as an American. -Hoodlumman

Funniest woman alive. -Pixie

It is quite possibly one of the most extensive sites I have seen for links to humourous content. It is a virtual encyclopedia for a myriad of different jokes on different topics and still growing. So a good site and worth checking out, theres definitely something for everyone, or anyone whos up for a laugh that is! -Mr. Joe Blog

BTW - you quite possibly put together the best, most well researched content on the web, bigtime kudos to you! -Anita B

One place I keep going back to is Miss Cellania. She really has it going on over there. Her posts are chock full of stuff I've never seen before, along with a few old favorites I had forgotten about. Anyone that can consistently come up with that much good stuff deserves kudos. -Blue Beaver Beer

Miss Cellania - is a great read, and there’s more than enough laughs to kill an evening with, on any given day. Miss C has her fingers on the pulse of every joke on the web that you haven’t seen yet. -Saskboy

(Funny, if a tad lowbrow) -Utopia Moment

Fabulous as usual..I appreciate all of the effort..and I am truly humbled. -Homo Escapeons

I'm not even sure why I thought her post is funny, but it is. That's all you're getting from me. Go read it. -konagod

YAY! Miss Cellania knows I'm alive!! -Fuzzy Dave

Murder

murdertitle.pngNow that the holidays are over, and I won’t be accused of trying to bring down anyone’s festive holiday season, I can get back to the business of highlighting the screwy side of life... and death. This is the project I was working on when I was sidetracked into doing an entire post on Jack the Ripper. Looking over this collection of links, many that have languished in my files for quite some time, I must warn you that some are disturbing. Murder is a disturbing subject. But you probably would never get an opportunity to see these things if we didn’t have all this strangeness happening on the internet.

The Celebrity Morgue.

The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office has a gift shop, Skeletons in the Closetmurderlaughter.gif. They don’t have a flashy sign or anything at the morgue; that would be tacky. But you can shop online for some tres different gifts. 

How long can a decapitated head communicate? This article is disturbing and grotesque.

Dead Men Eating is a blog that details the last meals of those executed for heinous crimes. Alrighty then.

I am Charles Manson.
Which Evil Criminal are You?
A Rum and Monkey crime.

Blog of the Day: The Killer Blog. All about serial killers and related subjects. Thats where I found this video, The Psychotic Odyssey of Richard Chase. This documentary about the The Vampire of Sacramento is performed with Barbie dolls. Even so, its totally creepy.

I took a test called How Dodgy Are You? which made so sense at all to me, but I’m a clueless Yank. It means something about crime in the UK, and here are my results: Crooked

Ello, ello, ello… what 'ave we 'ere then…? You're living close to the edge and it's only a matter of time before you're collared by the Old Bill. You may have fallen on your feet so far, but it won't last forever. Have you ever thought about a more rewarding pastime? (Emotionally that is…)
Based on your answers, we have calculated the maximum penalty for your crimes*:

*Please note this is just a fun quiz so don't be alarmed by your score! The maximum penalty has been taken for each crime and no consideration for scale of crime committed.

 
For more about murder, JTR Forums recommends Murder Ink, a bookstore in New York City specializing in crime mysteries, not to be confused with Murder, Inc.  Online, you can find out about famous and not-so-famous murder cases at Court TV’s Crime Library

The Morbid Curiosity Shop has produced this video to tell you about their Serial Killer Greeting Cards.

Hitman is a disturbing parody site about hired killing.

The Murder Trialdead.jpg

A defendant was on trial for murder. There was very strong evidence indicating guilt, but no corpse had been found. In the defense's closing statement the lawyer, knowing that his client would probably be convicted, decided to try a trick.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all," the lawyer said as he looked at his watch. "Within one minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom!"

He looked toward the courtroom door. The jurors, somewhat stunned, all looked, eagerly. A minute passed. Nothing happened.

Finally, the lawyer said, "Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all looked on with anticipation. I therefore put it to you that there is reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict of not guilty."

With that, the jury retired to deliberate. But after only a few minutes, they came back and pronounced a verdict of guilty.

"But how?" the lawyer asked. "You must have had some doubt. I saw all of you stare at the door."

"Oh, yes," the jury foreman replied. "We all looked - but your client didn't!"

murdermagnet.jpeg THE EXECUTION

Two prisoners, sentenced to die in the electric chair on the same day were led down to the room in which they would meet their maker.

The priest had given the last rites, the formal speech had been given by the warden, and a final prayer had been said among the participants. The warden, turning to the first man, solemnly asked, "Son, do you have a last request?"

To which the man replied, "Yes sir, I do. I love dance music. Could you please play "The Macarena" for me one last time?"

"Certainly," replied the warden.

He turned to the other man and asked, "Well, what about you, son? What is your final request?"

"Please," said the condemned man, "KILL ME FIRST."

Thought for today: How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? murdercomment.jpg

PS: My Perfect Post Award for the month of December goes to Mike Ashley at It Occurred to me for his post of December first entitled Spirit of Christmas Revisited. It contains the poem Blind Spirit of Christmas, which I reprinted for Christmas Day here. The story of the Christmas Teddy Bear touched my heart. You can find all the December Perfect Post winners listed today at the award sponsors' sites, Petroville and Suburban Turmoil.

Why thank you so much. I'm touched.

It's ironic that I spend most of my time posting farcical and funny pieces, and it is one of the few serious writings that I put up that receives this award.

Interesting way to lead into the New Year, a blog featuring murder...you're killin' me hyar ;-)

I must admit, I'm a huge fan of anything about true crime. A book I finished not long ago (and will pick up to read again soon) is called "Devil's Knot: The Real Story of the West Memphis Three" by Mara Leveritt. It was published around 2000 or so but there are always updates to the case as well as documentaries that have come out about it. The documentaries have the main title "Paradise Lost." You see firsthand how the justice system can fail badly. Hell. Remember OJ? Oh, let's not go THERE.

How grotesquely fascinating - LOL

I read that the Murder Ink mystery bookshop was closing - how sad!

You always come up with the most unique stuff! Thanks so much! I can’t wait to see what else 2007 will bring us!
All the best to you!

I'm Harry Truman. I never knew that surrender had been offered numerous times.

I worked as a lifeguard in high school and I saved a murdered body from the surf.

01.03.07 @ 10:24PM | Unregistered Commenterdavid
Thank you for the mention! I thought the Barbie/Richard Chase thing was so creative and silly and somehow the creepiest documentary I had seen on a killer in a long time. I'm glad you enjoyed it, too!

Speaking of celebrities, I thought you might be amused by this video about Internet celebrity, Luke Vaugn who is "Running Fool" from the ZeFrank show:

It has a belly dancer, too!
