Major Crimes and True Crime

Aside from “funky town”, the Mexican narco vid where a guy has his hands cut off, his eyes gouged out and his face flayed off with a box cutter Aside from “funky town”, the Mexican narco vid where a guy has his hands cut off, his eyes gouged out and his face flayed off with a box cutter…. It would have to be this one: It's what it looks like. It dates from the mid 90s and shows the beheading of a young Russian woman, which was most likely done for no reason other than she had served her purpose in the minds of the perpetrators. The other disturbing aspect; my (I shouldn't have to say it, but future) wife, who was 14 at the time, was the only other person there, witnessed the entire event, and never truly recovered from the psychological trauma. Also, to all of you who have decided it's fake, or bullshit, would you have said the same thing if my answer had been ‘funky town’ or ‘ghost rider’? I realise you're entitled to your opinions, but please b...

Florida's Messiest Execution On July 8, 1999, the execution of Allen Lee Davis set off a shock wave that rippled around the world. During his time in the electric chair, Davis bled profusely from the nose and suffered burns to his head, leg, and groin area. As the switch was thrown, the “Tiny” Davis, who was executed for the May 11, 1982, murder of Nancy Weiler and her two daughters, reared back against the restraints, giving witnesses a chilling glimpse under a black hood designed to hide the faces of the condemned. Blood poured from his vivid purple nose, ran down the wide leather strap that covered his mouth and soaked the white shirt. After the power was turned off, Davis was still alive. Witnesses said his chest rose and fell about 10 times before he went still. After the execution, state prison officials and Governor Jeb Bush said the Old Sparky functioned properly. Three photos of the incident have been published on Florida’s High Court offi...

Who was Neera Arya who saved Subhas Chandra Bose's life? Today, I want to uncover the remarkable saga of Neera Arya, a name that time almost forgot but a legacy that deserves to shine. Neera's story began on March 5, 1902, in the picturesque town of Khekra Nagar, Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh. A girl sent to Kolkata for education, she grew into a woman whose heart resonated with an unwavering love for her homeland. As the flames of India's struggle for freedom swept the nation, Neera found herself drawn to the courageous Rani Jhansi Regiment of the Azad Hind Fauj, led by the visionary Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. She transformed into a fierce warrior, fighting not just for herself but for the liberation of her beloved land. Fate wove a complex tapestry when Neera married Srikant Jai Ranjan Das, a British Army Officer and CID Inspector. Their union, however, was marked by clashing ideologies. Srikant's relentless pursuit of Netaji's secrets was met with Nee...

Human intercourse with real people who donated their bodies to science and to make education interesting. (The picture was taken by me when I visited a very controversial German exhibition called "Körperwelten") All the bodies are donated and the people knew what they where getting into, but its still controversial After some actual research, I found out that there have been multiple controversies about some corpses and how they were obtained. And in the end they were sadly donated. I did a bit of research on this topic, and my takeaway is this: The exhibition uses Chinese bodies. van Hagen has also access to enough bodies through the donation program (according to their site, there are 17k registered donors in Germany). Van Hagen made a statement at some point about bodies that he destroyed because they had injuries that made him suspect that they are prisoners (eg. chinese ones) He later clarified that he was referring to bodies that he was preparing as contract work for ot...
