Comment preview: It gets better. Somewhere in England is a man whose job entails watching the end of Coronation Street (an english soap opera, for those of you who have just arrived on planet Earth). Why? Because he works for the national electricity grid. They need to k ....

Comment preview: Yea, coroners are elected positions. I find that absolutely absurd. Different states have different options for this. Coroners are elected, but some states have medical examiners. MEs are people who are appointed/hired by county officials. Medical examin ....


Comment preview: I do like the live crownings, but I find the reunions a bit canned as everybody waters themselves down for the audience. Get rid of the Recap episode which no one likes or watches Do it like some kind of Live Coronation which would operate more like a perf ....


Comment preview: Here's a fun fact about jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. A lot of the time it's not the fall that immediately kills them. It's the inability to swim after jumping. Broken bones make it difficult to swim and they drown. As a mortician I've had to pick up ....


Comment preview: Calm your tits. Yes, there is obviously some sort of cover up going on. I just wanted to point out that it would be impossible for it to be some sort of organ-transplant related scheme. The average citizen has enough misinformation about organ transplan ....

Comment preview: Im a friend of a coroners assistant. He spent a few months there. He said his craziest experience was when a man came in apparently expired. He was a little vague about how the guy ended up on his table with the coroner but ill chalk it up to being early i ....

Comment preview: Former biological anthropologist, as an undergrad I worked for a forensic anthropologist. This is the weirdest case she had that I got to see for myself. It was from the 1920's. My boss had inherited a coroner's collection of odd/interesting bones he colle ....


Comment preview: Well done Reading FC, the right thing to do. Here's a copy of an email i sent to the reading Chronicle today. They haven't yet responded! Dear sirs, You write today in your newspaper, The Reading Chronicle, that "Football hooliganism may be thought of as a ....


Comment preview: Haha, everything has to be documented. Even if it wasn't taken on record - families would know about the jewelry. The only way this would be possible is if it were a 'coroners call', where it's only police and the body is going to the coroners office. Even ....

Comment preview: Friends father was a cop for 40 years, every once in a while he'll tell stories and talk about his career. I asked him what was the grossest thing he'd ever seen on the job. Apparently he was sent to a house early in his career from a bad smell coming from ....


Comment preview: [](/twiright)Everyone can breathe a huge sigh of relief after reading this synopsis. If Twilight is changing cutie marks and destinies, then it falls well within the realms of possibility that she swaps horns and wings as well. If, somehow, she winds up wi ....


Comment preview: Not me, but my father back in his commercial fishing days noticed that there was a t shirt in the middle of his net after one tow. After a little investigation he found that it was not a shirt, but a human torso wearing a shirt. He said he was terrified th ....


Comment preview: I believe it has to do with the "[Semen Displacement Theory](http://www.journals.elsevierhealth.com/periodicals/ens/article/PIIS1090513803000163/abstract)." Essentially what the theory says is the longer your penis and the larger your coronal ridge the mor ....
