My sense of humour is dark to say the least. That is why every Monday I will post a short blog detailing an interesting death. It has long been my opinion that when one has to deal with bad news, laughter is often the best coping measure. It feels healthy and at the end of the day if your laughing then you certainly aren't crying right?
Whenever a celebrity dies we are flooded with details, most mundane, and so instead of adding to this cauldron of banal death, I want to share with the good readers an interesting death, in the vain hope that one day I will be able to bring to fruition a TV Show entitled - THE WORLDS MOST INTERESTING DEATH - all the death need be is interesting.
This week Morose Monday features the Alain de Monés, a French aristocrat. This poor fellow had the misfortune to be cooked and eaten alive by villagers in Dordogne. The culinary affair took place during a bout of mass hysteria, which makes is makes the fact that the villagers took the time to prepare the meat savage, but more importantly interesting. Even in a state of 'mass hysteria' the French were concerned with what they were eating. Even in a fit of cannibalistic rage, our continental... acquaintances...managed to stay classy and prepare their food to what I am sure was Michelin standard.
I wonder if Victor Hugo contemplated adding this little scene to his tale - would have loved to have had a crack at the song - and Anne Hathaway looks as though she could do with feeding, at least in the film.

Very interesting topic. Enjoyed reading is as it wasn't the same old usual/boring stuff. Looking forward to reading next Monday's blog.
Thanks, Shubham. Going to be posting all sorts of random things if time allows. From Football to Films and Mundane Mondays.
