Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

Lawson, strapped into a wooden chair and wearing only white boxer shorts, a diaper and socks, began yelling after his executioners placed a leather mask over his face. His words were not clear through the double-paned windows of the death chamber but he seemed to scream "I'm human! I'm human!" as the airtight door to the room was clamped shut.

Crippled bully Archibald Archibald is blown to pieces in his wheel chair by a Hawkins grenade placed by his 19-year-old son Eric at the age of 47 in London Hill, Rayleigh, Essex, United Kingdom. Although Brown had been crippled in a motorcycle accident and unable to walk, his will power was undiminished: he harshly ruled his wife Doris Lucy and elder son Eric.
