"I love children, they are delicious"

Born May 19th 1870 Albert Fish was a cannibal and child rapist who boasted to have consumed children in every state. He was also known as The Brooklyn Vampire, the Werewolf of Wysteria and the Moon Maniac.
His family had an intense history of mental illness and religious mania and Fish was no exception to the family tradition. From an early age, his pastimes included the consumption of urine and feces, frequenting public baths to watch young boys undress, and writing obscene...
letters to women he found in the classified ads.
He was caught by Detective William King, who had been hunting a cannibal for six years.
While in prison he enjoyed forcing needles into his groin and urinary tract.
He was sentenced to death for the kidnap and murder of Grace Budd, deeming the electric chair the greatest sexual thrill imaginable. On January 16, 1936, during his execution the electric chair short circuited due the amount of needles in his body.

Random Musings: What Would Have Happened if the Collapsed Ikoyi Tower Belongs an Igbo:
Thread

Before delving into the meat of this short piece, let me once again extend my deep condolences to the families of the victims of the collapsed Ikoyi 21 storey tower.
May the souls of the departed find peace with the Lord, and may we never suffer such tragedy again in Jesus's name.
Now, the big question: What would have happened if the collapsed tower belonged to an Igbo version of the owner, the late Femi Osibona? So many things, of course!
There would have been massive ethnic profiling. All Igbo businessmen would have been viciously tagged cheats, dishonest and greedy.
They would have been derided, cyberbullied and held vicariously and collectively responsible for the sin of one man.

The Seven Wonders Of The Ancient World
Historical thread

The amazing works of art and architecture known as the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World serve as a testament to the ingenuity, imagination and sheer hard work of which human beings are capable.
They are also, however, reminders of the human capacity for disagreement, destruction and, possibly, embellishment.
As soon as ancient writers compiled a list of “seven wonders,” it became fodder for debate over which achievements deserved inclusion.
The original list comes from a work by Philo of Byzantium written in 225 B.C. called On The Seven Wonders. Ultimately, human hands joined with natural forces to destroy all but one of the wonders.

Part of the problem is that members of the Igbo underclass that support IPOB do not care if the Igbo economy is destroyed.
It's a net-zero situation for them. They don't care if IPOB damages an economy in which they already feel marginalized.
The IPOB insurgency was supposed to be a protest against Igbo marginalization in Nigeria. But a radicalized Igbo underclass is using it to protest their marginalization within Igbo land, against the ascendant classes of Igbo society.
It is now as much about Igbo self-determination as it is about lower-class rehabilitation.
This is why IPOB's ambivalent claim that it has suspended the sit-at-home is of little effect so far.
