His bizarre last meal request was for two dozen steamed mussels, two dozen steamed clams, a Burger King double cheeseburger, six barbecued spare ribs, two large milkshakes, a tin of SpaghettiOs with meatballs, half a pumpkin pie and strawberries and cream.
The 28-year-old made the most of his last meal in March 2007, requesting Five cheese enchiladas, two carne guisada tacos, an onion, a tomato, two jalapeno peppers, a bunch of grapes, a pint of butter pecan ice cream and a banana milkshake or strawberry-flavoured milk.
The World's Most Bizarre Last Words
A person's last words, their final articulated words stated prior to death or as death approaches, are often recorded because of the decedent's fame, but sometimes because of interest in the statement itself. (People dying of illness are frequently inarticulate at the end,[1] and in such cases their actual last utterances may not be recorded or considered very important.) Last words may be recorded accurately, or, for a variety of reasons, may not. Reasons can include simple error or deliberate intent. Even if reported wrongly, putative last words can constitute an important part of the perceived historical records[2] or demonstration of cultural attitudes toward death at the time.[1]
In rising chronological order, with death date specified. If relevant, also the context of the words or the circumstances of death are specified. If there is controversy or uncertainty concerning a person's last words, this is described in footnotes. For additional suicide notes, see Suicide note.
This one speaks for itself. Marie Thérèse Louise was a princess and a confidant of Marie Antoinette, making these funny last words even more surprising. She was killed in the French Revolution, but not before cracking this frankly hilarious short joke.
Mom passed away peacefully on Jan 28th 2022. She had a stroke on a Monday and stopped breathing at 1:30AM early Friday morning. It is sad for us siblings that she could not talk or swallow to eat after the stroke. She kept grabbing my hand and touching her face for about 20 minutes as if she was trying to tell me something, probably that there is no feeling on the side of her face. She would press our hand when we asked her if she could see us or hear us but she could not talk. Even though she could not talk, we knew she could hear so we gave her assurances that she is loved and it is okay for her to go when she was ready to and be with dad who passed almost a year before. Mom was 90 and had a total of 39 children, grandkids and great grandkids with twin grand daughters on the way in a couple months for a total of 41!No last words but the room was filled with love with family members visiting throughout her final days!
You may have heard of last meals on death row, but what about last words? From bizarre food puns to bone-chilling declarations, the world has heard a number of spine-tingling last words from some of the most brutal convicts throughout history.

Whether you're thinking about your last words or your last wishes, it can be difficult to know where to begin with later life planning. For many people, funeral cover can be a great solution to ensure your preferences are taken care of whilst reducing the financial strain on your loved ones.
Unmasked as both a corporate spy and a robot in the final act of Alien, science officer Ash (Ian Holm) spends his final moments talking about what a deadly, almost perfect specimen the xenomorph is. An angry Ripley unplugs him, but not before he smugly says the line above, before expiring with a smile on his face that not even a blast from a flamethrower can shift.
From the book Last Words: A Dictionary of Deathbed Quotations, by C. Bernard Ruffin (1995). Keep in mind that in many cases we have multiple accounts of how a person died, so that you mind find other versions of these last words.
Abraham Lincoln's last words have been the subject of debate among scholars for well over a century. The 16th president of the United States was killed on April 15, 1865. He was shot by Confederate sympathizer and stage actor John Wilkes Booth while sitting in Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C.
On the website ourlostfounding.com, Lincoln's "likely last words" were published as: "We will visit the Holy Land, and see those places hallowed by the footsteps of the Savior. There is no city on earth I so much desire to see as Jerusalem."
It would be difficult to confirm the last words of someone who died well over 150 years ago, to say the least. In order to establish authenticity, we would need to see official records that left no doubt of their genuine nature. Unfortunately, no solid evidence exists in the case of Abraham Lincoln. However, this does not mean that no records exist at all.
We consulted about the former president's last words with the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Illinois. Lincoln was born in Kentucky, but he began his political career in Illinois. He also met his future wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, in the Prairie State.
McWhirter told us that "this is still secondhand and should be handled with care." However, he said that "it is close enough to the event and the people involved that we can say he likely said it during the play, possibly as his last words."
And all of those last words are supremely Good News. But I want to finish this time of meditation together by considering one more last word. A last word that is, in fact, also a first word. I want, very briefly, for us to remember the last word of the Centurion, as we find it in Mark (and also in Matthew), and to recall how it echoes the first word of the gospel story. And, because Mark is, for sure, the oldest of the four gospel accounts, it is the first word of all.
We have heard the last words of three of the four gospel writers, and we have seen how they contain genuinely Good News of a God who loves us so much that he truly becomes human, to bring salvation within reach through the death of Jesus on the cross.
The dictionary chronicles how the language grows and changes, which means new words and definitions must continually be added. When many people use a word in the same way, over a long enough period of time, that word becomes eligible for inclusion. Here are a selection of words that met the criteria for our most recent update.
The three most profound words in all of human history. Sin had been paid for in full with the life and love of Christ that demands our obedience.Have you experienced the forgiveness of the Son of God? How then will you live?After the resurrection, on the Mount of Olives before departing for heaven in a cloud, Christ gave us a profound promise and command by which to measure our lives, "... but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witness ... even to the remotest part of the earth."What is your response to His life? His death? His command to tell others the Gospel?What will your final words be?How do you want to be remembered?How is your life today another investment in the legacy you leave?Do you measure your life by the world's yardstick or by Christ's words? If Christ is not Lord of your life today, then what guarantee is there that you will be a person of hopefulness when you die?"Only one life will soon be past. Only what's done for Christ will last."-Jim Elliott, a missionary who was martyred in 1956 for his faith at age 29.Be wise about the days you live.
One of the most infamous serial killers of modern times, Ted Bundy confessed to 30 homicides committed between 1974 and 1978, although the true number of victims is not know. Bundy declined a last meal and so was given the standard fare for death row inmates: a steak cooked medium rare; eggs over easy; hash browns; toast; coffee; milk; juice; butter and jelly.
Von Richthofen met his end on 21 April 1918 in somewhat unusual circumstances. While pursuing a Canadian pilot with little experience and at a very low altitude (Lieutenant Wilfrid May) he was chased away by a seasoned Canadian pilot (Captain Arthur Brown) who dived steeply and fired at him before climbing to avoid crashing into the ground. The Baron resumed his pursuit of May but shortly, facing concentrated fire from Australian troops on the ground, he made a rough landing in a field near The Somme River. The soldiers, who had fired on his plane from the ground, got to his wrecked red Fokker triplane quickly and may or may not have heard his last words which, allegedly, included the word kaput. Exact accounts of damage to his plane by gunfire - before it was dismantled by soldiers seeking souvenirs - are not to be found. 2ff7e9595c
