The Sweeney Todd story

Sweeney Todd is a fictional character, who first appeared in a story called

‘The String Of Pearls’, published in a Victorian newspaper in 1846-7.

Since then the story has been re-told in many different formats, including

Victorian melodrama, theatre, films, dance, television, comics, radio plays, and

a famous Broadway musical. The story has become urban legend, and although

some claim there is a historical basis and that Sweeney Todd was a real person,

there is no evidence to support this.

‘Death By Haircut’ is an adaptation of the

traditional Sweeney Todd story. Here is a

summary of the original plot, as published on

Wikipedia.

Sweeney Todd is a barber who dispatches his

victims by pulling a lever as they sit in his barber

chair. His victims fall backward down a revolving

trapdoor into the basement of his shop, generally

causing them to break their necks or skulls. In

case they are alive, Todd goes to the basement

and “polishes them off” (slitting their throats with

his straight razor). In some adaptations,

the murdering process is reversed, with Todd

slitting his customers’ throats before dispatching

them into the basement through the revolving

trapdoor. After Todd has robbed his dead victims

of their goods, Mrs. Lovett, his partner in crime,

assists him in disposing of the bodies by baking

their flesh into meat pies and selling them to the

unsuspecting customers of her pie shop. Todd’s

barber shop is situated at 186 Fleet Street,

London, next to St. Dunstan’s church, and is connected

to Mrs. Lovett’s pie shop in nearby Bell Yard by means

of an underground passage. In most versions of the story,

he and Mrs.Lovett hire an unwitting orphan boy, Tobias Ragg,

to serve the pies to customers.

Happy Halloween!!!!

Halloween is celebrated on 31st October every year. Halloween is the modern name of an ancient Celtic holiday "Samhain". People celebrate this day as a spiritual beginning of a new year. The various activities done in Halloween are mostly associated with the idea to obtain good fortune.

Ancient people believed that ghosts came back to earth on this day. It is said that on this day, the spirits of the dead come back to earth in search of living bodies to possess for the next year and try to return to the homes where they were living. So to appease these spirits, people offer them fruits and nuts. If the spirits are not pleased, it is feared that the spirits would kill the people or destroy their property.

Halloween costumes are traditionally related to ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils. Black and Orange are the famous color for this day. The Jack-o-lantern is the festival light for Halloween. Pumpkin is a good substitute of the turnip, to be used as Jack-o-lantern.

Trick-or-treating is a traditional celebration for children on Halloween. Children in their costume go from house to house, asking for treats, with a question, "Trick or treat?" The word "trick" refers to a threat to trouble the homeowners or their property if no treat is given. People generally give candy to the children who come to their house.

Nowadays many schools and churches arrange Halloween parties for the kids. People usually have parties, wear Halloween costumes, do bonfires, tell and read scary stories about witches, skeletons, bats and ghosts and also watch horror movies.

This is Halloween

Vanity Car License Plates

License Plates

Check what I've found looking for vanity license plates templates. It's a true story:

I heard the following tale on KCBS this morning.  [I intersperse a few
details from the SF Chron, 23 Jun 86.  PGN]

It seems that this fellow [Robert Barbour] desired personalized license
plates for his car.  Since he loved sailing, he applied for ``SAILING'' and
``BOATING'' as his first two choices [seven years ago]. He couldn't think of
a third name of NAUTICAL intent, so he wrote ``NO PLATE'' in as his third
choice.

You guessed it. He got ``NO PLATE''.

A week or so later, he received his first parking ticket in the mail.  This
was followed by more and more tickets, from all over the state [2500 in
all!].  It seems that when a police officer writes a parking ticket for a
car with no license plates, he writes ``NO PLATE'' on the ticket.

Our friend took his problem to the DMV, which informed him that he should
change his plates.

The DMV also changed their procedures. They now instruct officers to write
the word ``NONE'' on the unplated parking tickets.

Wonder who's gonna get those tickets now?
