"I think that since this was more of a university morgue (for studying doctors) they may not have had drawers."

This was a morgue where they studied doctors that may not have had drawers!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

'Snows,

Don't you mean "you are one of the few people to have ever made it down that ward. . . and come back alive to tell the tale"? ;-)

Ah-HA! I got it! ;-)

It's not a store, it's a supply area. When you have several thousand people who live in one place you need to have an area to go to replenish your "essential" supplies, especially on evenings, weekends, and holidays, which is when you ALWAYS seem to run out of things. Because the supply departments are "irregular" in most institutions, we have always been (inadvertently) reinforced for hoarding supplies.

I did a safety inspection of one of my living areas last week where there are currently 14 people living. I found over 150 towels and washcloths, 100 fitted sheets, 150 regular sheets, 85 pillowcases, 45 blankets, 8 extra pillows, 3 large cardboard boxes of paper drinking cups, 1 huge cardboard box of plastic cutlery (probably 1000 items in it), 7 boxes of latex gloves (in three different sizes), 5 bags of disposable safety razors, 6 large boxes of Depends, and 12 boxes of personal wipes. Don't ask me how many bottles of Kutol soap and hand sanitizer there were because I can't count that high without taking off my shoes and socks.

Staff are smart. They know that next week when they order there will somehow be a shortage at the warehouse and they'll not receive their regular supplies, so they stock up. I do enjoy the fact that they want to make sure they have all the supplies that are needed to keep their folks clean and comfortable, but it's a damn shame we can't get the warehouse to get items where they need to be on a more consistent basis.

That's all this is - an area where you keep extra supplies for when they are needed.

You go first and tell us how it feels. :-)

The institution I work at is entirely heated by steam. I think it is also cooled by the same system, but I don't know how that works, it's just what I heard someone say recently. Anyone know more about how a steam plant could cool a place?

Thad, after that last shot you still want to cross this bridge? =8-o

Do you think they would still have any sensation once I plucked them out?

By the way, I like this picture more each time I see it. It's another one that the entire composition "fits" together somehow.

Are they good dreams or bad dreams?

Well, if you had an enlarged liver and it was out of your body and being weighed, my best guess is that you probably wouldn't really care how high up the scale went. ;-)

"Empty or full"? With Radical Ed around? You are actually asking? =8-o

Regardless, we got 'em! And all over the place! Fire marshall was out here last week and seem to be OK with it.

Good going, Bob! I had rented the movie and was gonna watch it tonight! Now you spoiled EVERYTHING! 8`-(

Where I work they have some real skeletons that apparently used to be used in anatomy classes when medical students did internships out here. I don't know for sure that this is what you saw at Danvers, but it's a possibility. My take is that you should either call the police anonymously if you think something bad happened (they can check out a lot of things these days with forensics, even if a crime was committed many years ago), and if it turns out it was a hand from a teaching skeleton, it would certainly be respectful to ask to have it buried.

My two cents.

Well, now, thank you. Who else would find something quite so consoling?
