Do people still fall for this one?

It's true.

Mike the Headless Chicken (April 20, 1945 March 17, 1947) was a male Wyandotte chicken that lived for 18 months after his head had been cut off, surviving because most of his brain stem remained intact and it did not bleed to death due to a blood clot. After the loss of his head, Mike achieved national fame until his death in March 1947

You can't lick your elbow.

Also, the skin on your elbow is impervious to pain. Try pinching it. Won't hurt.

Tanks are called tanks because when the US first deployed them in Europe, they transported them in crates that said "Tank" so that the enemy wouldn't know what was really in them.

I don't know if their food got worse, or other places just do it better. My feeling is they got worse.

I think so too.

Carbon monoxide poisoning? That's supposed to be 'pleasant', isn't it?

That said...

Upon realizing that I've spent a short time thinking of ways to kill people, I've concluded that maybe the state shouldn't execute people.

That's different from nitrous though right?

Probably everyone is bored with it.

Congrats

By physical games you mean board games or other physical activities or just physical media video games,?
The former yes, the latter no.

On a second thought, i do miss physical media because they're more efficient in data storage. Digital games are way too bloated in size now.

Physical video games

I mean, you can still buy physical if you want.

They're going the way of the DVD though.

You're telling me.

Because they are going out of style.

Remember at that one E3 Sony made a video about being able to share physical games with your friends, unlike Xbox One? lol

No

People are extremely weird when it comes to spoilers and what is and is not a spoiler is mostly arbitrary.

It was the end of the book.

^why, why did you use a spoiler there lol

It's a nonfiction work about a case that (in large part due to the book) is fairly well-known

Either way, I was curious and wondered when the last US execution by hanging took place. Apparently, it was in Delaware in 1996. Incidentally, his was the last of three state-sanctioned hangings that happened in the US in the 1990s, after previously having had none since 1965.

Whatever happened to hanging...?

Those guys from Capote's book In Cold Blood were hanged

Yet it sells like hot cakes all over the world.

23 states do not have the death penalty
7 states do allow, but executions formally suspended
8 states do allow, but none have occurred in last 10 years
1 state allows, but executions informally suspended (wow, Ohio actually did something right!)
11 states actively allow executions (have performed executions within last 10 years)

Interesting statistics.

Dang

Japan doesn't even let you know when you're getting executed. One day you just wake up and you're asked to take a walk.

Hmm. I didn't know that.

Alabama sets a date to execute a death row inmate by nitrogen gas, governor says, a method never used in the US

Alabama has scheduled the nations first execution by nitrogen hypoxia, an alternative to lethal injection, its Republican governor said.

Kenneth Eugene Smiths execution by lethal injection was abruptly canceled in November after the state couldnt properly set the IV line before the warrant for execution expired. He asked the state to be put to death by nitrogen gas rather than lethal injection after what he called a botched execution.

Smiths execution now is set to take place between January 25 and 26, according to a news release from Gov. Kay Ivey.

Death by nitrogen hypoxia deprives the brain and body of oxygen, so the inmate would die by suffocation, according to the Death Penalty Information Center, a non-profit that monitors, analyzes and disseminates information about capital punishment.

The new development in Smiths case comes after Alabama paused executions last fall and reviewed its execution process after problems with lethal injections came into the national spotlight.

Alabama finalized the first-ever execution protocols for the new method in August after its legislature in 2018 approved the alternative method to lethal injection, the Death Penalty Information Center said. The state has 165 inmates on death row, according to the state department of corrections.

Still, Smiths attorneys nodded to other unresolved issues related to the case and said they are disappointed the governor has apparently set an execution date for their client, according to their statement Wednesday to CNN.

We will continue to pursue the enforcement of Mr. Smiths rights through the judicial process, the statement reads. Like the eleven jurors who did not believe Mr. Smith should be executed, we remain hopeful that those who review this case will see that a second attempt to execute Mr. Smith this time with an experimental, never-before-used method and with a protocol that has never been fully disclosed to him or his counsel is unwarranted and unjust.

The US Supreme Court in May sided with Smiths request to be killed by nitrogen gas. The courts action came after the justices divided 6-3 earlier in the term to allow Smiths execution to go forward by lethal injection.

Smith was convicted for the 1988 murder, with an accomplice, of Elizabeth Dorlene Sennett in a murder-for-hire plot. The two were hired by Sennetts husband, who was involved in an affair and had taken out a large insurance policy on his wife, CNN previously reported.

Smiths case was tried by a jury twice, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has noted, both of which resulted in convictions. In his 1996 retrial, Smiths jury voted 11-1 for a recommendation of a life sentence, but a judge overruled that and imposed the death penalty.
