 Hangman's Nights
HANGMAN’S NIGHTS is about men who, just before their execution for murder, are given the chance to tell stories, Arabian Nights style, to an official with the power to pardon them.
One of the key characters in HANGMAN’S NIGHTS is Alfred Crofts-Hartley, an erudite Londoner with a passion for classical antiquity who—stop reading this introduction now if you don’t want to learn one of the novel’s surprises a bit early!—is the offspring of a female gorilla and a New York millionaire.
HANGMAN’S NIGHTS was the earliest Keeler novel never to be published in the English language in any form while he was alive but only in Spain or Portugal if anywhere.

The Hangman was installed new in 1999 and is the largest roller coaster in the park.
The Hangman will lift thrill seekers 120 feet into the air then take them on a 60 degree angle 10 story dive, within inches of the ground.
The thrill ride gives the public a chance to experience the exhilarating feeling of a fast rollover, and a pretzel-like twist that turns the train upside down twice before connecting to a full 360-degree loop.

 NPS: Nature & Science» Geology Resources Division   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Unlike many of the islands typical of the New England coast, several of the Boston Harbor islands are coastal extensions of drumlin features, which are glacially-formed, asymmetrical, elongate masses of till formed into smooth-sloped hills on the Boston Basin lowlands.
Many of the islands of the Boston Harbor Islands national park area consist of glacially deposited drumlins composed of a thick, dense, homogeneous till core, which is overlain by a thin layer of stratified beach deposits (Masterson et al., 1996).
Thus, the sole source of freshwater to each of the islands studied is the infiltration of precipitation into the soils of the island.

 Hangman offers hope to Nguyen - World - theage.com.au
Singapore's hangman has held out the hope of a last-minute reprieve for Australian drug trafficker Nguyen Tuong Van.
Amnesty International said in a 2004 report that about 420 people had been hanged in Singapore since 1991, mostly for drug trafficking, giving the island nation of 4.2 million people the highest execution rate in the world relative to population.
Australia has repeatedly pleaded for clemency for Nguyen on the grounds that he had cooperated with the authorities and could serve as a witness in future drug cases.

 The Oak Island Mystery Pit
In 1720, Oak Island, being too far offshore to be easily visited, was uninhabited except for small game.
Uninhabited and facing the open Atlantic, Oak Island may have been a prime spot for those plying "the Sweet Trade" to store their loot until the hangman were no longer looking to stretch their necks.
Finally, the strange men - pirates, perhaps - left Oak Island and the terror subsided for a time, but the events of that night were never forgotten.

It was far more majestic than any junk Adams had ever seen and was the special prize of Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, K.C.B., highly decorated Commander of British Naval Forces in the China Seas, who had just recently returned from having given the defiant city of Canton a useless and inconsequential shelling.

 Tobacco : the most dangerous drug in the world
The Haida Indians inhabit the Queen Charlotte Islands off the west coast of Canada and the Tlingit live on the southern coastal mainland of Alaska.
Yet this is not a reference to the psychoactive effects of cannabis but to the use of the plant's fibre in making the hangman's rope — hemp being seen to attack the throat from without, tobacco from within.
This tiny tobacco-free zone was said to be found among the Yami people of Botel Tobago, an island thirty-five miles east of Taiwan (although the name of this island makes one think that this is a leg pull).
