Daughter is always
researching stuff for stories. I came across a book that had the old
British hangmans tables in it(subject of 'X' weight should have a drop
of at least 'Y' distance but no more than 'Z', to the inch yet), and sent a copy of it to her.
While after that I mentioned it to a lady I was going out with. Response:
"You people are WEIRD! If someone sent something like that to me I'd call the police!"
"It was for her research."
"You people are WEIRD!"
Ah well. Good while it lasted
So? No link to the reference book?
ReplyDeleteBear in mind, those figures will be for a british noose. With an american noose, you'll need a longer drop for the same weight subject. Just sayin'
ReplyDeleteAlso, we may actually be weird
No, that was something lost when my old pc crashed. Dammit.
