Are you an anorexic goth chick? Have I got a shirt for YOU!
Today's Terrible Yet Truly Morbid Fact!
A terrible hailstorm accompanied a thunderstorm at Winnsborough, South Carolina, on May 8, 1784. Hailstones measuring up to nine inches in circumference fell, killing several people. They became the first recorded fatalities from a hailstorm in the United States.

Wretched Recommendations!
Sam has another of those fun-filled, creepy Japanese movies for us to watch:
"Last weekend, I had the chance to see a movie that I found quite interesting. It details the return of a woman, Hinako, to her hometown in Shikoku (it's like a Japanese equivalent of the southern United States -- it's a boring place, believe me). From then on, she and the rest of the town residents are visited by the ghosts of dead relatives, including Hinako's best friend, Sayuri. Not too much, right? Until we find out that Sayuri's mother, who is an exorcist, has gone so insane with grief over the death of her daughter that she is trying to raise the dead, and succeeds. It's a Japanese movie with English subtitles.
Culture note: the original name of the island uses the characters for 'four' and 'country' (??), but in the movie title, it uses the characters for 'death' and 'country' (??). Also, there are buildings (especially hospitals) in Japan that don't have an official fourth floor because of the similar pronunciation for 'four' and 'death' -- both pronounced shi."
Shikoku (1999)

Morbid Trinket Du Jour!
Here's a great shirt for all you anorexic goth chicks - a Tragic Suicide shirt complete with slit wrists!
Sinister Candy has lots of great shirts for those of us with more than 1% body fat as well. I especially like their "Woodcuts de Morte."
Excellent!
