Yeah, that’s a good point. There would probably have been some massive potential liability issues there. ---

I love how the lawyer tried to educate everyone by citing unverified rumors about a serial killer from many years ago (even her source used a ton of weasel words to emphasize how the stories were just stories). In reality, nobody in NYC is going to be able to make any kind of profit selling humans as meat. It’s just not feasible. It’s nothing but bigoted bullshit. ---

If the vendor’s made from human remains, then she’s more like Frankenstein’s monster than a zombie, IMHO. And what’s the deal with calling 9-1-1 for a non-emergency? p.s. Do you remember the _Married…with Children_ episode “Hot Off the Grill”? ---

The Turnagain mud flats don’t _look_ as dangerous as they are, at least in places. On the other hand, prit’ near every guide to the Anchorage area I’ve seen has a “Don’t Go Out on the Mud Flats!!!” notice in large unfriendly letters; so his stupidity lay in not bothering to acquaint himself with local conditions. In any case, Ma Nature tends to regard stupidity/ignorance as a capital offense. ---
