38. John William Rook - "Freedom. Freedom at last. It's been a real good one."

In 1980, 25 year old nurse Ann Marie Roche was kidnapped from the parking lot of Wake Medical Center where she worked by Rook. Miss Roche was then driven to a vacant field, where she was raped and then murdered by Rook, who subsequently drove his vehicle over her body. He =tried to blame society for the murder. Because he didn't get the "help" he needed as a kid. And when we started paying attention to him (for breaking the law) everything that was done just made it all worse.

During execution John William Rook, 27 years old, said, 'Freedom, freedom at last, man - it's been a good one,' and died at 2:11 A.M., said Renee McCoy, a spokesman for the Correction Department. He was allowed to wear western boots and a Harley-Davidson T-shirt. His last meal: 12 hotdogs (with mustard) and a can of Coke

Did You Know...

Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.

So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.

Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
