And NY guidos cried for Gotti when a photo of him ill with cancer appeared in the NY Daily News.

When he was arrested there were banners for him strung along 101st Avenue in Ozone Park. He was fairly popular in the area.

When did Ozone Park become a suburb of hell? A friend of mine always loved those mobsters. She said, “they keep your neigborhood nice”. I told her they do that by messing up someone else’s neighborhood with drugs and prostitutes. She shut up real quick.

I bet that cognac started tasting nasty after a while!

Maybe when they put in the el.

Why don’t we ask Rosie O’Donnell about tbis? She knows a lot of stuff about science.

Talk about harsh! That DIDN’T leave a mark, after the dissolution was complete at least.

"Do any chemists out there know if this is even possible? I mean can a “barrel” of acid (55 gal) really dissolve an entire human corpse?"

I bet a barrel of Coca-Cola would do the same thing. Probably easier to hide the purchase as well.

And I always thought John Gotti was a white-man?

Obviously the mailman wasn't.

There's a scene it "True Romance" with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU9OrGbbYnY&eurl=&feature=player_embedded

I must warn of offensive language.

FNC just had a story about Scotty Boy moving his new fiancee into his home. This dude needs to be studied! He must be a damn machine.

> After the Battle of Trafalger, where he was killed by a sniper, Lord Nelson was placed in a barrel of cognac to preserve his remains on the voyage back to Blighty.

From the Wikipedia page on Rum:

A story involving naval rum is that following his victory at the Battle of Trafalgar, Horatio Nelson's body was preserved in a cask of rum to allow transport back to England.

Upon arrival, however, the cask was opened and found to be empty of rum. The pickled body was removed and, upon inspection, it was discovered that the sailors had drilled a hole in the bottom of the cask and drunk all the rum, in the process drinking Nelson's blood.

Thus, this tale serves as a basis for the term Nelson's Blood being used to describe rum.

It also serves as the basis for the term "Tapping the Admiral" being used to describe drinking the daily rum ration. The details of the story are disputed, as many historians claim the cask contained French Brandy whilst others claim instead the term originated from a toast to Admiral Nelson.

See my post just above, #51.

Yes, the sailors drank the cognac (rum), including the blood of the deceased Nelson.
