Kinda Creepy
As Andrew posted over on Comicnight.net the State of Texas has a page that lists all of its executed prisoners last meal requests from December 1982 until two weeks ago. The page is complete with a link to the details of each prisoners crime. I find this highly disturbing for some reason. The crimes are unthinkable ("A five year old Hispanic female was struck by two bullets, causing her death", "hispanic female was hit 18 times on the head... with a chrome-plated [motorcycle] chain"), but the listed last meal request highlights the humanity of each of the convicts. Disturbing stuff.
