Abraham Lincoln Autopsy’s Handwritten Notes

Posted on by

Although the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln took place more than 150 years ago it still captures the imagination of most Americans.

The Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, NY just opened a new installation, “Autopsy for a Nation: The Death of Abraham Lincoln,” marking the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s assassination. The exhibit’s key items include handwritten notes by the physicians who conducted the President’s autopsy.

The 20 Scariest Movies of All-Time

Posted on by

The Entertainment Weekly staff came up with their list of the 20 Scariest Movies of All-Time.

The EW list is a pretty good one and using just their choices I came up with my top three:

  1.  The Exorcist: Not only scary while you’re watching it, but even more frightening when you think about it later.
  2. 28 Days Later: Fast moving zombies (and let’s not argue the point that they aren’t zombies) and humans that are equally as dangerous.
  3. John Carpenter’s The Thing: Isolated in an environment that can kill and unable to tell friend from monster.
