A little snippet of Weird (if old, again!) News! 
Well, I know at least some of the folks who read here are from P.A. so thought I would give you some topical weird, news!
And this I think, speaks of Divine Intervention, and Divine Justice! And this is proof, that watching TV can be bad for one's health! No Goggle boxing on my blog!
1997 -- Michael Anderson Godwin made Weird news, posthumously in 1989. He had spent several years awaiting South Carolina's electric chair on a murder conviction before having his sentence reduced to life in prison. In March 1989, sitting on a metal toilet in his cell and attempting to fix his small TV set, he bit into a wire and was electrocuted. On Jan. 1, 1997, Laurence Baker, also a convicted murderer once on death row but later serving a life sentence at the state prison in Pittsburgh, Pa., was electrocuted by his homemade earphones as he watched his small TV while sitting on his metal toilet. |
