Obvious when you actually look at the skull, but if you raped and murdered a child with their baby teeth, decapitated the corpse, and then threw the head into a plastic bin ($12.93 Walmart http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-...Quart/19868993) containing beetles in order to clean the meat/blood/sinew off of the head, the baby teeth wouldn't be visible when you removed the skull for a few weeks later.

Good point. Maybe you have pictures of what this looks like after you've raped and murdered children?

Darkwynde beat me to it.

We can so share it. I am afraid to be alone in here with him...

Something like this:


Except the skull is smaller, in a Sterilite bin, and the lighting would be much poorer.

Go ahead and try to sell a ground up kid skull in this market.

Did you happen to see the hand that was perfectly dissected?

EDIT: If you're squeamish, don't click. Beautiful dissection of a human hand: http://imgur.com/GJLXb

Woah, that is awesome. It makes me wonder what it would look like if it was vivisected and moving.

This is why I've considered mortuary science, but alas that would make me a single cat lady the rest of my life because who's going to bring a mortician home to meet mom (not really but close enough).

Do what you want to do. I've worked in that industry and most (MOST) people are really well-adjusted normal people with awesome senses of humor. And you'll never go out of business.

Why do I find something about that gif to be so hilarious? I think it's the long painted nails.

Dude--so part of my project is Mass Fatality Systems that are pretty much just all about how to process the dead during disasters and victim identification, etc. and all of the chicks involved in that specific project are by far the coolest I work with. I know a few of them were mortuary sciences... they're not gothy or anything, but that just might be because no one in nyc is gothy.

Anyhow it's totally weird, I always look forward to going to meetings at the medical examiner's office/morgue even though it smells.

EDIT: started writing this before fat white duke said also that mortuary people ruled. I wonder why people that take care of the dead are pretty awesome.

I'm following some people on tumblr who do mortuary science and are either in school or working as embalmers, etc and their posts are some of the most interesting and hilarious I have ever read.

I would imagine its the whole 'being comfortable with death in a society that really sterilizes and stigmatizes death' that turns out a certain crowd of people. If you're a high strung sort of person you're not going to last if every body coming through the door you're upsetting yourself over the hows and whys that they died (this applies even more so to people studying to become medical examiners). I did a cadaver lab for biology credit and the people who freaked out the worst had some very similar high-strung personality traits.

Um... does this very intimate and detailed description scare anyone else?

In order to properly dispose of a body, you are going to need a few things. First, a ton of baking soda. The smell is going to be horrible, so you don't want it getting to the streets. You'll need to cover all your vents in plastic wrap. You can just put up a few layers of saran wrap and then very neatly use duct tape to make an air tight seal. Next, put bowls of baking soda near every window, door, and vent. You want roughly a pound of baking soda for each, but a few pounds at the front door. Now that that's done, lets get rid of this body. You need to drain it of all blood as soon as possible. This will slow down the decay and help with the stench. Contrary to popular belief, draining blood from the neck is not the best method. The femoral artery works much better. Put the body in the bathtub, propping the feet up at one end the and the torso leaning against the back of the bathtub. Think of a reclining chair. That's the position you want. Now, slice the thigh from knee to buttocks, cutting the femoral artery length wise. Once the body starts draining, you'll need to add a ton of bleach to keep the smell down as well as maintaining a clean environment. It will take roughly a day to fully drain. I'd recommend sealing the room until it's fully drained. After draining, they body will be much easier and cleaner to work with.

Now that the blood is drained, you can easily hack the body into pieces. You'll need a mallet, preferably rubber coated (you can melt the rubber later to dispose of DNA), some sort of wedge, again rubber coated, and then a knife. Don't use anything you'll be attached to, as this will be the last time you use them. Carving knives work well. Cut the flesh away from around the joins, exposing the bone. Cut away any tendons and cartilage that is exposed. Use the wedge and mallet to sever the joints. After this the body will be easier to move. I'd go on, but I've likely scared some of you.
