Dead Man Eating

This website will make you hungry.

http://www.deadmaneating.com/

It's a listing of people on death row, what they did, their last words, and what they had for their last meal. You can submit your own last meal and read other's meals as well.

Again - this website will make you hungry!

Yikes!

And yet, it's fascinating somehow.

And now I have to share this with my friends.

And ...are we humans weird or what?

two dozen jumbo fried shrimp with tarter sauce and ketchup, two large orders of fried onion rings and french fries, one raw regular onion, six pieces of garlic bread, two cold 32 oz. Cokes, two 32 oz. strawberry milkshakes..


Does anyone think this guy stuffed himself just to delay the inevitable? Or hoped that all that garlic and onion would cause some sort of "reaction?"

I used to have the last meals section of the Texas state correction website on links, but they discontinued it on grounds of taste.

They don't always get what they order, though. There's a limit on what can be spent on a final meal, and many just get what's on the prison menu after ordering strange crap. I do remember a few refusing food, and one requesting world peace stuck in my mind.

Yeah, I used to have that bookmarked. Our government prof gave us the link.

I know some states (if not all) don't allow alky or tabacco.

Probably. As unpleasant as it is to think about, one of death's side effects on the body is to evacuate whatever is sitting there in certain regions from the appropriate exits. So he probably decided to get at least some satisfaction out of knowing someone would have to clean up the, uh, feast's last hurrah.

This reminds me of that episode of King of the Hill where Dale found a website like this and he, Bill, and Boomhauer (okay, that didn't trip the spellchecker, which means it's in the board's vocabulary. lol) decided to spare no expense in eating their final meals. It is something worth thinking about, I guess. At least the condemned know they're getting their final meal, so it's not like the last bit of food they enjoy before the reaper comes for them is something lame like a Quik Trip hotdog or cold pizza.

Well, as they said on South Park, when you die you crap your pants!

Anyhoo---who the hell would willingly keep the name "TIMOTHY TYLER TITSWORTH"? I would be petitioning to have that changed as soon as I was legally able.
