Years ago when I was still lurking, there was an RO thread bashing the two young men who exhumed a fresh grave because the recently deceased young lady was represented by an attractive obit photo. A few posters were upset by the disrespectful necro jokes in the thread and protested. One poster said something like “Actually, I think I know the family of this girl. She wasn’t by any chance a composer, was she?” Someone responded “Actually, quite the opposite.” I’d like to take this opportunity to thank that poster. For being awesome. (pardon the hijack) ---

In addition to the blood-in-the-mouth comment, there’s another quite unbelievable comment. But when you read about what serial killers often do to bodies, it doesn’t seem to much of a stretch. :eek: ---
