Death List Part 3

Continuation of the Death List series:
  1. Part 1 - Self Sacrifice
  2. Part 2 - Villain Comeuppance
I will think on you dead, until my husband makes you so. And then I will think on you no more. ~ Mary MacGregor (Rob Roy)
Everyone makes mistakes. It's likely the one tendency that makes all of us human. Some of these slip ups are more serious than others, too. And since this is another of my death lists, you can probably guess where I'm going with this. I'm sure some folk will point to those who chronicle the mistakes of some that result in their leaving this world, permanently. The Darwin Awards track what many deem as enterprising demises:

Honoring those who improve the species... by accidentally removing themselves from it!

They Sank It Themselves

10 Cars That Sank Detroit
This was a thoughtful U.S. News & World Report article that clearly answers why Detroit automakers are where they are now. And, the basis for this is decades old. But, I wonder why they didn't bother to mention my dad's Chevy Vega? I have such a fond memory of it breaking down in the desert while we attempted to cross from L.A. to Las Vegas--in AUGUST!!!

PhotoshopDisasters blog


It's always easy when amateurs, like me, mess up using a powerful image app like Photoshop. Hey, it's a given. But, what's downright riotous is when paid, talented professionals do it on a public canvas like posters, ads, and what-not. I hereby recommend, for your entertainment pleasure, the PhotoshopDisasters blog. If you've ever dabbled at misaligning pixels on an image, you won't be disappointed.
