| mmc | Posted – 6/23/2008 3:59:44 PM | show profile Thanks Bleak, I just snorted tea up my nose! It's so nice to hear that a lot of you loved that book, too... I'm deviating from the subject here - sorry! - but I used to have a 7-inch record of a song/story called The Frightful Nobody. Does that ring any bells for you guys? This was back in the early to mid-70's, although the record may have been earlier, since it was probably my older brother's (I claimed all his cool stuff for my own). I would love to get another copy, but I've never been able to find anything about it. |

He slipped off, the chainsaw went flying, and-- wait for it, wait for it-- he cut off his own head. Not kidding. What can you say? Some people clearly don't have a head for the business they're in... |
| mmc | Posted – 6/23/2008 4:59:10 PM | show profile FORE (head)! Ok, I'll shut up now. |

| KC4 | Posted – 6/25/2008 11:30:16 AM | show profile What about Seven? I still feel my throat tighten when UPS delivers a box. |
| keltoi2 | Posted – 6/25/2008 1:16:12 PM | show profile And of course we have Nearly Headless Nick in the Harry Potter series... |
| writesonwater | Posted – 6/25/2008 5:24:47 PM | show profile Oh Seven was indeed grim. I wasn't ready for that. And there's the scriptural story of Salome. |

| desertroo | Posted – 6/25/2008 11:25:39 PM | show profile I was working for a weekly paper in a very large, rural county a few years ago. The story of the month was a property owner who wanted to donate an acre of land to a local university for a body farm (as in a place to bury cadavers and study them as they decay.) Well, his neighbors and just about everyone else in the county was up in arms about the idea. Eventually, the university gave up and announced at a local meeting that they weren't going to go through with the idea. You should have heard the bad pun laced headlines that went through the newsroom that night. One of my favorites was "Body Farm Dies on the Vine." But, my editor's wife came up with the best one and the one we ended up running in the next morning's paper ... "Nobody's here." |
| writesonwater | Posted – 6/26/2008 11:57:41 PM | show profile Ha! that's a great headline! We recently had the gruesome discovery of a severed leg in our local lake/water reservoir. Turned out to be a local guy, and his other parts were, well, in other parts of the state. Carl Hiassen couldn't make this stuff up. |
