12/6: What happens to suicide bombers

Undertoad · 12-06-2001, 01:38 PM

The recent Palestinian suicide bomber must have done the traditional thing where you strap explosives to your body. Because that's his ARM sitting there in the middle of the road...

I don't generally go for the obviously gruesome. But this just struck me as oddly important. This is real life. Real death, at least. Can't deny it, this is what happens.

Yeah, and apparently, Tony the Tiger thinks it's "GRRRREAT!!!"

...snip...

Not his arm - his LEG, unless he wears a sock on his hand.

Yum.

Well. Stupid people do stupid things.

-or-

Darwin had a theory about this...

Undertoad · 12-06-2001, 02:52 PM

Oh yeah! I guess that is a leg.

The other consideration here is that somebody has to clean all this up, and that might just be in the running for Worst Job.

Was thinking the same thing. Could you imagine having to clean up all that shit? And this is pretty commonplace in Israel. Making sure to get it out of the cracks and shit so walking down the road doesn't stink like rotting body parts. Mmmmmmmmmmm, fun.

Pun intended?

I still think the Tony the Tiger poster in the background is the best part.

I was watching CSI the other night (Crime Scene Investigators on CBS Thurs nights for those that are interested), and one of the characters was starting up a business on the side and requested a little word-of-mouth for initial customer-base.
The business? "Crime Scene Cleanup"

Yea, yea. I know. It's only TV. Though I'm *sure* someone, somewhere has this job and likes it.

Your average city would have afew of these anyway - road accidents, suicides etc without epope lblowing themselves up. Aww man post a warning on that stuff in future Ut - i was eating brekky!!

Bacon and eggs lost its appeal.

Actually, my friend owns a carpet cleaning business. They have a contract with the IPD (Indianapolis Police Department), and they go to the crime scenes and clean the carpets for the apartment complexes, etc... He told me once that he had to clean some brain out of the carpet once because the slum lord wouldn't spring for new carpet. I guess someone shot themself in the head or something.

Sometimes stuff like that isn't even crime scene stuff. Real story. A good friend of mine had a fairly distant Aunt. When the Aunt's sister (a different Aunt - my friends Dad has passed on) didn't hear from her sister in a week, she tried calling neighbors etc. Eventually, they got the super to open the apartment. As you might be able to guess, my friends Aunt had died in the apartment. Now as this was mid summer, things had gotten fairly ripe.

They had to call a cleaning company to come in and clean up before they called my friend and I to come in and pack the furnature up (the other Aunt packed the small stuff before we got there)

NOT fun

*reminder to self*
DON'T READ CELLAR DURING BREKKY
two days running this is going to cause weight loss.

Traffic cops have a similar deal with hoing blood and stuff off roads after nasty smashes i guess, not pretty. Always thought doing criminal autopsies would be prettty godawful though, carefuly ewxamining months-dead bodies for a couple of hours would work better as a dieting system than jenny craig.

jaguar · 12-31-2001, 10:28 PM
