Questions with no apparent answers:
Why after 12 years of crimes committed against the American people no one was indicted prosecuted or jailed
Which came first; the fried chicken or the fried egg?
So, did they postpone the execution, because they thought the drugs wouldn’t work as well as they were supposed to, or because they drugs would work too well? 😁
4. Who knew what time it was when the first clock was made?
It was noon when the sun was to the south, and therefore at its highest point during the day. The Egyptians divided the day into twelve more or less equal parts, and later extended that to night time as well. Telling time at night was almost easier than during the day. They relied on the decan stars, which not only marked the seasons, but also the hours.
They postponed the execution because they could not rely on the drugs to do their work humanely. I believe the convict is first anesthetized into an unconscious state, then muscle relaxants are administered that prevent breathing. After a short while the muscle relaxants are no longer needed to prevent breathing.
They say, “Time flies,” but you can’t—they pass at too irregular intervals.
Bumper sticker on my truck:
Bring Back The Guillotine
The first use of the electric chair was grotesque. Lawyers have argued that convicts exhibit painful death throes from lethal injections.
Dog pounds use nitrogen asphyxiation. Painless and safe for prison staff, no toxic materials merely biological waste. Giving the convicts knock out drugs to ease the transition is fine with me.
6. Every time you clean something, you just make something else dirty.
A trivial restatement of the first law of thermodynamics.
