Your gasping for air repulses us!

Hmm. I got a message saying that someone named Tobias has been looking for the Seattle Phone Pranks CD for years, heh. Hopefully, this one will actually be delivered, unlike Matt Torres' CD last year. Darned post office! :P


Today's Moaning Yet Truly Morbid Fact!

On 2 September 1983, Jimmy Lee Gray was executed in a Mississippi gas chamber. Officials had to clear the room eight minutes after the gas was released when Gray's desperate gasps for air repulsed witnesses. His attorney, Dennis Balske of Montgomery, Alabama, criticized state officials for clearing the room when the inmate was still alive. Said noted death penalty defense attorney David Bruck, "Jimmy Lee Gray died banging his head against a steel pole in the gas chamber while the reporters counted his moans (eleven, according to the Associated Press)." Later, it was revealed that the executioner (Barry Bruce) was drunk.
