  • Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a pedestrian struck on 160th St. and Archer Ave. in Queens, a shooting on East 119th St. in Manhattan, and a construction accident on Flatbush Ave. in Brooklyn,
  • Before anyone accuses A-Rod of greediness for spurning an offer of $30 million a year, let it be known that would make the top-performing athlete a pathetic piker among NYC earners.
  • Maggie Gyllenhaal acclimates to Brooklyn: She isn't comfortable with her cover shot from the Brooklyn Paper, but she's happy with Park Slope and her now-one year old daughter Ramona.
  • David Letterman's production company is producing a documentary on young politcos.
  • A hospital lab tech was arrested for having sex with the corpse of a 92-year-old woman. The 24-year-old lab tech is being charged with desecrating human remains and could face ten years in prison.
  • Former Wu-Tang Clan manager Cathy Jones accused a downtown club of "racism, sexism and chronologicalism," after she was denied entry the other night.
  • The Manhattan Project was not strictly a code name. NYC was the nexus of a complicated program to develop nuclear weapons that ended World War II.

    At the disgusting amounts of money the richest of the rich make in this city.



    Oh and at that necrophilia story too.

  • MT

    What is "chronologicalism?" Is that even a word?

  • Kevin Bracken

    lol, it's "ageism", bitch



    which strangely ties in to the morgue story

  • jbay

    Manhattan Project...uhm...duh? this isn't common knowledge? It started at Columbia. Legendary record producer / engineer Tom Dowd was recruited to work on the project while an undergrad there. After the war he didn't return to college because the physics they wanted to teach him was pre-nuclear, and he already knew better.

    Coitus upon a cadaver,

    The ultimate way one can have her.

    The inanimate state

    Means a man needn't wait,

    And eliminates idle palaver.

  • JKinNYC

    Would prefer he had forced himself on her when she was alive?

  • Roger McDowell

    Jesus that is disgusting.

  • Ace

    I nominate this for the sickest story of the year.

  • JacqueMehoff

    couldn't he just cut it out and stitched it to his car's upholstery like the other sickos.

  • Dave Hogarty

    "eeeewwww" is just the start of it. She was a 92-year-old woman! Necrophilia is sick, but there weren't younger dead women in the morgue? I guess that's kind of a moot point once you cross a certain disgusting barrier.

  • RatherBeBiking

    A 92 year old one.

  • Elderta

    HE DID WHAT TO A CORPSE?

    eeeewwww.....
