Francisco Solomon Sanchez was pronounced dead shortly after 4:15 p.m. Friday [June 3] after leaping from a 210 Freeway overpass between Mountain Avenue and Buena Vista Street, Los Angeles County Department of Coroner Lt. Joe Bale said.

Why is this item so important? Because this was the tenth time that Sanchez had tried to kill himself. I think it took Thomas Edison thousands of tries to find out that he needed to use tungsten as the fillament in incandescent light bulbs. He said that he hadn't failed, he simply knew of 6,000 ways not to build a light bulb.

Sanchez had jumped to his death using prosthetic legs, which he got from injuries from previous unsuccessful suicide attempts.

Welcome to My blog! This is where I store my thoughts so that I can come back to them at some point in the future. This allows me a place like a journal to keep what I'm thinking about. But anyone else is welcome to visit; I make this place public so that other people can hear what I'm thinking.

This is where I make comments on any subject I find of interest. My political comments are in the Politics section, and technical items are in the Computers section. Note, if you want to make a comment, e-mail it to me at paul@paul-robinson.us. I am sorry that I had to disable comments, but after I had deleted the 300th worthless piece of spam comment on this blog and receiving exactly zero valid comments, I decided to stop allowing spammers to excrement all over me and my blog. If you have *anything* at all to say, send it to me in e-mail; if it is even the slightest bit relevant - even if I don't agree with it, I will post it. (As soon as I find a way to stop spammers from posting junk I'll allow direct comments.) Note that if you are a visitor and post a comment, it defaults to "draft" meaning I have to approve it before it is visible, so if you're posting spam, don't bother, nobody will see it.
