Around Thanksgiving time the good people at the National Museum of Crime and Punishment asked guests: What if you knew that there would be no tomorrow and you had to make the choice of what your last meal would be? Obviously the question was based on what a prisoner would choose as his last meal before being executed, but I thought it still works for the last meal of 2008. Since I know you all want to know, I'll probably have chicken and some generic version of Easy Mac.

Below is the top ten list of museum guests' last meal requests. More than 500 people took the survey.

1. John Wayne Gacy’s last meal (12 deep-fried shrimp, a bucket of original recipe chicken from KFC, French fries, and a pound of strawberries)

2. Ice Cream

3. Steak

4. Pizza

5. Lobster

6. Hamburger

7. Spaghetti

8. Sushi

9. Crab

10. Potatoes

Although I did not take the survey, I'm glad to see someone chose Stouffer's macaroni and cheese for their last meal. Here are a few other interesting choices: kielbasa, crawfish étouffée, pop tarts, a quart of 20-year old-whiskey, and shark fin.
