The Zombie President
I just found out the other day that there was a plan to try and re-animate George Washington after he died. I heard about it on "Sleepy Hollow" and then checked it out to see if it was true.
The designer of the U.S. Capitol, William Thornton, apparently thought if the body of the first president was kept warm next to a fire, air was blown into his lungs with bellows through a tracheotomy and he was given a transfusion of lamb's blood, he could be resurrected.
I think what horrifies me the most about the story is that someone wanted to do it.
