If I can get to the corpse without puking, my house backs up to desert.  Then it's fun time with a corpse, a shovel, 100+ degree heat with high humidity (monsoons) and possibly rattlesnakes.

FUN.

Edit: Extraction is looking impossible.  Damn it.

[Yoru]

That's why I suggested just setting your garbage on fire. It can be done from range and doesn't involve rattlesnakes.

Your neighbors might not be amused though.

MAn that must suck. FYI dumping Drain Devil on it won't get rid of the smell, but will dissolve it. Did you at least bag it before you dumped it? You can try dumping some cat litter on top of it (unused - duh). It has clumping action and absorbs odors. Might dry it up a little too.

I am sure someone can find a recipe for fermented rabbit and post it in the Hagis thread.

It's in a bag.  I'll look at putting some cat litter in the can to absorb some of that smell. 4 cats means I always have plenty of that onhand. Thanks.

Trash is picked up by a truck with a picker.  So, at least it's going to be gone on Monday for sure.

Scarily I am sure you are right.

[cmlancas]

Discovered a rotting rabbit corpse in my front yard yesterday.  Pretty far along that I found it via smell. Trash pickup is on Monday. 

Anyone know anything that can cover up the smell of a corpse? 

Cinnamon. Cinnamon works better than anything on the market. I work in a meat market where we throw dead animal into barrels that get picked up once a week. The bottoms of them get cleaned possibly once every six months.

So I repeat, cinnamon.

There has been a dead giant crow on my back neighbors roof for almost 3 weeks now.  It smells funny and I have to look at it every time I look out the back window.  I keep the blinds closed now.  Unfortunately I can't just go back there with a shovel since that involves climbing on their house.

I've always used gasoline as a stench killer.  Not legal and not the best, but cheap (somewhat) and readily available.

I read that as cow, more impressive.

[Merusk]

Yeah, but you /have/ to burn cows so then the gasoline thing comes back.

[Selby]

Nah, just dig a hole and cover it up.  Or just dump fill dirt on top of it and create your own little hill!

[Yegolev]

Once again I see that I am simply just far tougher than most people.  I can't imagine it being humid in the normal sense there, so I would not even bother burying it, just toss it onto a rock and let it dessicate.  Or let the ants eat it.  You have ants, don't you?  Circle of life and all that.

[Cheddar]

Dumbass.  Dig a small hole, about 3 foot by 2 foot.  Maybe 2 feet deep.  Toss a little lime in there.  Put the part you want dissolved.  Pour lye in there.  Viola- issue solved!

[schild]

Is that where the bodies go, Cheddar?

[Merusk]

Yeah, I said the same thing.  Then it was explained to me that you lose a cow every few weeks, particularly in the winter.   It's not really possible (or desirable) to bury that many cows, so you burn them.

Arizona soil.  After less than a foot down you traditionally hit clay, another foot and you've got rock.  Who keeps lime and lye around in quantities enough to dissolve small animals (this was  a decent sized rabbit) other than serial killers and Mike Vick?

I should have just flung it far into the desert (with the monsoons it would have been interesting as to where it ended up, thing was flat enough to take flight in a strong breeze).  But yah know, first time with a animal carcass larger than a hamster and GOD THE SMELL (my brain broke). Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.  I doubt this is the last time I'll get dead animals on my property. 

Cinnamon worked. Any time I get a scent from the trash, it smells like cinnamon death, which isn't that bad. 

[Signe]

I would have to be very drunk or very stoned to go into outer space.  I would probably die, anyway, but maybe I wouldn't notice so much.

Shouldn't you guys be discussing smelly dead stuff in the Haggis thread?  The viola suggestion is a good one.  I have a friend who plays a viola and she smells lovely.

Dr. Who sucks.  I only watch because there might be daleks or cybermen.  And there is.  Yay.

NEVER fuck with a dead crow. Corvids have an insane memory and will know you were the one who fucked with their dead. They will dive-bomb your head any time you are near the site where the dead crow was disturbed. Trust me on this. crows are hell of smart and they are highly social birds with tight family networks.

I believe it.  My dog decided to catch a giant crow one morning a few months back.  This bird was PISSED and the noise it was making was unreal.  Our tree and all of our neighbors trees were covered in crows.  We are talking a scene out of The Birds for the sheer amount of crows in every nook and cranny you could see.  I made my dog get away from the bird and then wrapped it in a towel and took it through our house and out the front door (it wasn't wanting to do any moving in the backyard).  Lots of crowing all the way there.  The bird was very happy to be free and not eaten and took off.  For all I know this dead bird could be the same one that our dogs tried to eat.

Lye/lime.

Home Depot or Lowe's for the Lime, it comes in 20# bags.  You scatter it on your lawn to adjust pH, so it's in the lawn & garden supply section. Lye you need to hit up some online stores or make it yourself.

[hal]

Your only gonna find lime east of the Mississippi. West of there folks put sulphur on the garden/lawn to sour it. It is a rainfall thing. Wetter east. Dryer west.

Woohoo! I win the mini-thread. +2 happy points.

[Murgos]

Or buy a bottle of drain cleaner.  Check the label, most of them are still lye.

[Selby]

Yeah, but most of them don't even burn your skin anymore, so they aren't that powerful.  If you are going to be dissolving corpses you need something that is going to be powerful, not watered down for the safety of the childrens.

I think I hear the sound of FBI clicking in the intarwebs. Dissolving corpses has to set off ridiculous flags. Consider yourself monitored!

Pft, the Politics forum alone had this place monitored YEARS ago.  A little corpse dissolving and body hiding techniques aren't going to get us jacked-up a notch.

It is interesting, however, the number of us who know about explosives AND finding body-disposal chemicals.

Not true - Red Devil (white plastic can, red lid) is 100% sodium hydroxide (lye) available at any super market for about $4. It will eat your flesh faster than you can say Fight Club. I use it for soap-making.

When's the last time you made soap?  When i went searching last night for Lye places, all the soap making sites had a articles like this. About.com hinted that Red Devil's parent corp might be getting pressure from the gov't because you use Lye in manufacturing meth. (Thus the "shooting draino" cracks about meth-heads.)  They also didn't recommend using other drain cleaners, because the lye wasn't 100% SH.

And now I see why Yeg never logs off his XBox. I mean seriously, he never logs it off.

Great fucking comic.  I want to see more Achievement Unlocked in RL situations.

I just read my own myspace page and I feel stupider.  Or more occultish.  Hard to differentiate.
