Title: Didn't I see this on an infomercial? Post by: Shockeye on February 19, 2005, 09:50:46 AM Quote from: AP Coroner Looks For Way To Shrink-Wrap Corpses (http://www.wjactv.com/news/4213524/detail.html) OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Officials in Washington state want to find a machine that can shrink-wrap something pretty big -- a human body. The Thurston County Coroner's Office is on the hunt for a machine that can wrap human remains in plastic in case of a natural disaster or terror attack. Officials said the process would make transporting a big number of bodies easier, while also sealing in biohazards like anthrax. And they said it's more respectful than letting bodies remain exposed as happened after the Asian tsunami. The office has started the bidding process to see who can build such a machine, which is estimated will cost about $50,000. A Homeland Security grant will pay the bill. A Homeland Security grant? Our tax money at work. Title: Re: Didn't I see this on an infomercial? Post by: WayAbvPar on February 21, 2005, 09:16:19 AM I heard an interview with her on the radio last week. Her main premise is that by boxing and shrinkwrapping bodies, they can be handled more efficiently and with less emotion impact on the volunteers handling them. It sounds a bit kooky, but it certainly isn't any dumber than Tom Ridge telling everyone to buy plastic and duct tape. $50k for this v $143m a DAY for continued activities in Iraq. I am over it.

No more innuendos for you. And that's the law. You're bad at it. Title: Re: Didn't I see this on an infomercial? Post by: SirBruce on February 22, 2005, 11:12:01 AM You're always cranky in the mornings.
