Oh, the places you'll find dead people!

I really wanted to make a Sixth Sense joke in the title of this post, but thankfully I managed to overcome my deep-seated desire to fill this blog with nine year old pop culture references and decided that classic Seuss was the way to go. Now to offend some of you.

Catanese G, Bloom T. Recovery of a mummified pregnant woman from a 55-gallon drum more than 30 years after her death. Am J Forensic Med Pathol. 2002 Sep;23(3):245-7.

Well, the next time I have to dispose of the body of some chick I knocked up and then knocked out, I'm going drum shopping.

People, dead pregnant women jokes are the new dead baby jokes, try and keep up.

Concrete sounds like less work. Just mix and pour, none of that bricklaying shit.

Haruki didn't come home from work one day. And no one ever saw him again. Until they found his mummified corpse beneath a boiler chimney.

Dudes, the Mob does this all the time! Haven't you seen Dick Tracy? That shit gave me nightmares for weeks! Er, a couple of nights. And I definitely didn't wet the bed twice in that time, no sir.

How exactly do you get the body into the wall? Does it involve as much sawing and drywalling as I think it does?
