I think I could do something with it.....

The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled last year that the state's use of the electric chair was unconstitutional because it amounts to cruel and unusual punishment. Some people in McCook -- population just under 8,000 -- think "Old Sparky" could be a tourist attraction and have offered to take it off the state's hands.

Fifteen men were executed in the chair, which is housed about 210 miles east of McCook at the Nebraska State Penitentiary in Lincoln.

"If it's sitting somewhere collecting dust, we have a place for it," said Duane Tappe, who said the chair could bring thousands of tourists to the town every year.

"My wife thinks it's a little -- what's the word -- macabre," said Tappe, who's involved in the city's Rotary Club and chamber of commerce. "But I would drive up the road to see it. I mean, I drove all the way to Cawker City, Kan., to see the (world's largest) ball of twine."

I love that last line.....
