This story was told by Vsevolod Vishnevsky , During the worst of the Siege of Leningrad, an unnamed painter was so hungry that he killed and ate his beloved cat. Overcome with remorse, he tried to hang himself, but the rope snapped and he fell to the floor, breaking his hip. He froze to death in his apartment.  Leningrad was deliberately starved on Hitler's orders. It is thought 1.1 million died as a direct result of the siege. Statue picture of Count Ugoliino and His Children, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. 1865, Count Ugolino was imprisoned with his sons without food until he ate all of them. Thank god the story ain't true. 1. No Signs of Cannibalism Chemical analysis of Ugolino’s rib bones revealed traces of magnesium but no zinc , a definitive chemical signature showing that he had not consumed any meat (including human flesh) in the final months of his life . 2. He Lacked the Physical Ability to Eat Meat Ugolino was a man in his late 70s or early 80s when he was imprisone...

   Not far away the townspeople gather at the monthly fair on the bay, laughing and buying hot fried foods and hand made crafts.  The weather is lovely after such a harsh winter, and the ladies are as scantily clad as modesty and the sun permits.  With him is his dead cat Mingo, who is fond of the rabbit in spite of his many shortcomings.  There is a live band which, the bunny is thinking, sucks.  He is down among the dead again and is oblivious to the lure of souvenirs, kids, fatty foods, and just being with others outside.  Most everything being sold is junk from his point of view and even the brass knuckles are so much poorly made expensive thuggery that he could easily make himself.  If only he would admit that he is drawn to conviviality as a moth is to flame!
