Man pleads insanity in professor's death
A University of Texas student who claimed he stabbed and slashed his piano professor more than 200 times because he thought she was a robot intent on killing him pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Jackson Ngai, 24, went on trial for attacking Danielle Martin with a meat cleaver, scissors and other items in her kitchen in 2004. On her body was a note that read, "Computer chip in brain."
I, for one, will buy the insanity defense on this one, because when a sane person is stabbing someone they think is a robot trying to kill them, my guess is that after a couple dozen stabs, all the blood and guts and screaming in pain and terror would likely be sufficient to convince them that they're probably mistaken. "I'm sorry, I seem to have terribly misjudged you. I am sooo embarrassed. Shall I dial 911 for you?" Whereas an insane person at that point would think "Well, I'd better stab you a couple hundred more times, just to be on the safe side."
And last but not least...
Actually...
From USA Today, today:
Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, who is afraid of heights, parachuted from a plane for a TV commercial to illustrate the state's plunging finances.
My problem with this, "actually," is that he "actually" made the jump "actually" strapped to an "actual" skydiving instructor, whose image was "actually" removed from the ad, "actually" making it appear as if Hickenlooper was "actually" diving alone.
In other words, this image is "actually" BULLSHIT!
And that "actually" pisses me off.
