   The Little Book of Bad Taste...
This past Saturday I picked up a little book titled "The Little Book of Bad Taste." It is quite an interesting book, sometimes anyway. Basically, it list events that has really happened, strange and/or disturbing things that is in bad taste. I don't quite know how they are in bad taste for simply listing these strange occurrences, well maybe it's because they're listing them and then selling the book for six dollars. Eh, whatever, I got it for fifty cents anyway, and little bad taste isn't bad. So what I plan to do is post a couple of these bad taste stories every once in a while just to have something to update myOtaku with. Heh, now if that isn't bad taste I don't know what is. Anyway, have fun reading a bunch of stupid and useless information.

Historical Deformities
1) Anne Boleyn had six fingers on her left hand, and three nipples. If King Henry VIII's charges against her of adultery and incest had failed he planned to use this as evidence to have her burned as a witch.

2) Both Napoleon, as well as Adolf Hitler, had one testicle.

3) Moses was a reluctant public speaker, who described himself as "heavy of mouth." He had a major speech impediment, and probably suffered from a cleft lip and palate. In Exodus 6:12:30 Moses describes his mouth as having "uncircumcised lips."

Capital Oddities
1) In may 1994 a prison in Varner, Arkansas, began a policy of executing two death row inmates at a time, because multiple executions saved money on overtime and were "less stressful." A prison official explained: "Nobody wants to get up in the morning and go kill somebody."

2) When murderer Albert Clozza was sent to the electric chair in Virginia, in 1991, the surge of current caused his eyeballs to pop out onto his cheeks.

Gruesome Collectibles
1) The stuffed carcass of Toto, the dog who starred with Judy Garland in 1939 film Wizard of Oz, fetched 2,300 at auction in 1996.

2) A toilet seat allegedly belonging to Adolf Hitler was put up for auction in Los Angeles, California, in 1968. The seller, Guy Harris, a former American fighter pilot, claimed he rescued it from Hitler's bunker in 1945--the only item he could find that had not already been scavenged by Russian troops.

3) The legendary bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde were enjoying bacon and tomato sandwiches in their car when they were ambushed by a posse of patrolmen and perforated by 77 bullets, splattering bits of brains all over the upholstery. The car and it's contents were swooped on by local trophy-hunters, who even cut off locks of Bonnie Parker's hair. One man was apprehended by a coroner as he was attempting to saw off one of Clyde Barrow's ear.



All right, that's all for now. I realize these are probably stupid, and uninteresting, but then again it doesn't really matter since there are probably only two or three people who look at myOtaku. If you have any comments, then feel free to leave them. It'd be interesting to see what people think of some of these things.
