From “Leningrad: The Epic Siege of World War II”, by Anna Reid

The point at which an entire family was doomed was when its last mobile member became too weak to queue for rations.  Heads of households — usually mothers — were thus faced with a heartbreaking dilemma: whether to eat more food themselves, so as to stay on their feet, or whether to give more to the family’s sickest member — usually a grandparent or child — and risk the lives of all.  For this reason… The Russian language makes the morally vital distinction between trupoyedstvo — ‘corpse-eating’ — and lyudoyedstvo — ‘person-eating’, or murder for cannibalism.

Gifs from Doctors

I received two animated .gifs in my email this week from two dear friends who happen to be doctors.  Is there a something to this?  Perhaps doctors, due to their extensive schooling, are at a higher level of internet technology.  Hence the .gifs, no...

There’s always stories about celebrity ash smoking or ash snorting or ash eating.  It seems to go with the fame, somehow.  Usually I find it kind of crude, but I’m a big fan of this just released video about smoking postmortem Tupac. FYI, Pac loved “chicken and the BEACH.” "Yeah, it’s definitely true. I think it was the night of, we had a little memorial for him, with his mom, his family and s*it," Young Noble said. "And we hit the beach, do a lot of s*it he liked on the beach. Some weed, some chicken wings, he loved orange soda and all that kind of s*it. Pac loved that kind of s*it, so we were giving him our own farewell that night. That night, I forget which one of us came up with that s*it." "I came up with that s*it, if you listen to ‘Black Jesus’ he says last wishes, n*ggas smoke my ashes, so that was a request that he had. Now whether how serious he was about it, we took the s*it serious," E.D.I. added in.

In the name of DETH.

Yes, I call Death, “Deth."  I do it all the time.  DethSkool, DethVideo, DethJob, etc.  Deth the post modern, lighthearted internet version of the more traditional DEATH, which holds the Scarlet Letter “A" and arouses mortal fear and leads to shunning by the townspeople. Turns out urban dictionary has several conflicting thoughts on the origin and intended uses for the word Deth. Woah, woah.  WOAH.  Hold on there buddy, deth absolutely IS a retarded way to spell death.  Except you spelled retarded “retarted"… but then again I’m spelling deth the retarded way… so I’m having a hard time figuring out which one of us is actually retarded and that’s CONFUSING FOR ME. Yes?!  Right.  Thank You. Man, I also have excused a lot of girly men in my day because of their power to shred guitar.  So I hear what this guy is saying. Vive la deth!
