mayhem/order

When you think of the word "mayhem" what comes to mind? The synonym that first popped into my head was "chaos." You might be interested to know that "mayhem" was apparently a felony at common law. While I was studying for the Bar today I was reviewing my criminal law outline. At common law mayhem "required either dismemberment or disablement of a bodily part."I found this interesting because I'd never heard of it before - nothing mentioned causing chaos at all! You really do learn something new every day. I also found it interesting because the outfit I put on today was pretty much the opposite of mayhem, it was pretty orderly if I must say so myself. 2 more...
