With bones, yes, but they were not designed to act as a mass grave or cemetery. They did this out of necessity for lack of a place to put all the dead. The condition of these remains and the fact that tourists with the stomach for it walk all over them kind of sickens me. I wonder if they'll ever make an effort to take them out for a more proper burial or cremation.

TootUncomon December 29th 2003 was when Wiki says that Bob Monkhouse passed away, so it makes sense that that's the date you give for it first appearing online. :)

This is a quote from a British comedian, Bob Monkhouse, go google him. I'm not doubting you heard someone use this joke on SNL, but it does not originate from there.

To comment on the brief history of the center that you stated.. My grandmother worked here for a while until the early 80's when she retired. I heard stories of some of the patients being mean and violent. I can't remember if she ever mentioned the workers being abusive, I'm sure it went on to some degree.

First time i think I've commented on one of your photos, but I've been a fan of your work for a few years or more. I'm happy you go out and take these risks so that these places can be documented before they disappear forever. Thank you, Motts for all the memories.
