No more harm will come until the autopsy, which may not be for several days.

I was referring to 'carrying it around' which seems to imply a degree of mobility.

Mobility via gurney and hearse is still mobility.

The other point about the hole is, if you think about it, we live with a hole in our body our whole life. Our very life depends on the hole that runs from your mouth, thru your body, and ends at your anus.

For a few years, Barbara Hershey went by the name Barbara Seagull due to an incident where she was filming a scene for Last Summer where she tries to get a seagull to fly again by throwing it, and it eventually died after the last take. She took its name because she thought it was the only moral thing she could do.

Also, looking into that same movie, I would never have guessed there was a movie that starts with two teenage boys and a girl helping a wounded bird learn to fly again and ends with those exact same three teenagers raping another girl.

Diamonds are a scam.

Piano strings (high tensile steel wire) in the bass range are sometimes wrapped inside of copper wire.

the ductility of piano wires is roughly the same as the ductility of rocks near the boundary between the crust and mantle of the earth.

Richard Gere’s middle name is ‘Tiffany’.

Given that lower-pitch guitar strings tend to be wound similarly (either in nickel, steel, bronze, or some combination of the three), this isn't too surprising.

Apparently the whole thing with kids' faces being put on milk cartons is actually a huge rabbit hole.





There's a lot of controversy about how effective the whole thing was, especially given that the majority of children marked as going missing are either runaways or were taken by a parent in a custody dispute, and how for those few (115 per year) that weren't, well, you know how the first 48 hours are the most important in a missing persons case? It took more than that to get a picture of a missing child, plaster it on a milk carton, ship said milk carton, and have some family actually see it. There was exactly one case Wendigoon could find of it actually recovering an abducted child, plus a few other cases of runaway teens who saw their own faces on cartons and decided "Yeah, the Parental Units are definitely getting too worried. I should probably just go home." Meanwhile, you have millions of parents worried about the possibility of their kids getting abducted and killed (a very understandable fear, but one that they didn't know had crucial context stripped), and millions of kids who sit down to breakfast every morning to someone who, for all they know, was a living cautionary tale staring at them while they ate their corn flakes. On the other hand, this was somehow the thing that actually brought the issue to the forefront, got lawmakers to actually differentiate between adult and child kidnapping.

That said, this was only something I saw on TV, because my family was more of a milk jug family than a milk carton family. And if the AMBER alert system didn't kill off the program, the switch from cartons to jugs definitely did.
