Fresh-cut apples, ready-made pie crust, sugar, cinnamon, oh, and lots of crispy bacon fried in butter. Sounds lovely! Some daring food pornists took it to themselves to recreate the myth of the Bacon Apple Pie and put it’s edibility to the test. Was it edible? Did it send anyone to the hospital a few hours later? Yes and no it seems!

Want to try and bake one on your own? Follow the photo diary and see if you can recreate your own Bacon Apple Pie. Godspeed and may your intestines forgive you the next morning.

A beautiful collection of archived photos from the Los Angeles Herald Express, dating from 1936 until 1961, giving us a striking look into local crime, scandal and even dog adoption ads. Ah, the good old days, when even tabloids had style. Courtesy of the Los Angeles Public Library, who are archiving some of the most amazing photos I’ve seen and presenting them online.

Photos to the left, Mrs. Nancy Keith (top), holding photos of her missing children in 1948 and Mrs. Lola Titus (bottom) being dragged into court kicking and screaming to hear herself judged legally insane after she was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon for shooting nightclub operator Mark Hansen in 1948. She was committed to an insane asylum as punishment for her crimes.

Many of the hundreds of photos are NSFW, as some document some pretty gruesome crime scenes. Office workers consider yourself warned!
