Eewww Gross but kinda cool

Decomposing bodies tied to trees or being dragged about by rodents is happening just down the road. I thought seeing inside a dead horse head was cool but when my boss first started working here she got to do some health and safety stuff at the infamous Body Farm! How freakin' cool is that??

I hope I have an opportunity to check it out during my tenure. Read all about it at Wikipedia.

omg, never heard of them till now. i don't know how i feel about them. i guess if people donate their body for it, it's ok, but.....i don't know.

what about the smell? i would hate to live anywhere near there.

I've always wanted to go see the infamous Dr. Bass and his body farms. I'll have to live vicariously through you my dear.

p.s. Traci is right...if you want to know more about these farms, read stuff by May Roach, so intriguing.
