Doctor's report on Lincoln assassination discovered by researcher - U.S. News
Read a great book "Killing Lincoln", by Bill O'Reilly. Very good account of Booths actions leading up to the assassination.

There is also a lot about Dr Leale's actions. Even though Lincoln lived through the night, Dr Leale had immediately known the President could not be saved.

Is spontaneous human combustion weird or what? .... from the straight dope

Over the past 300 years, there have been more than 200 reports of persons burning to a crisp for no apparent reason. The victims are discovered as piles of ashes and oily residue, completely consumed except for an occasional unburnt arm or leg.

The Straight Dope: Do people really die from "spontaneous human combustion"?

Just never hold in your farts, and you'll be ok !
It's like natural gas - very explosive !

Ever held a lighter or match to your butt while giving gas ? Try it ! ;)

Ran out of ideas. It was already 4:30. Here's what I came up with and it was delicious !!!

Beans and Wieners

I used Vegetarian Bush's Beans (the best) and cut up Ball Park Franks. This was an epicurian delight! Tossed salad with it.
