Well Kim, I wouldn't be freaked out by stuff like that. I would probably display them in my front room! Well it would be more of a talking point than a ship-in-a-bottle.... :-p
An ex of mine bought an ageing Dodge ambulance (they're very cheap, as no-one wants them) threw in a matress and converted it into an extremely cool camper van. Complete with its original V12 engine of course :D. However it's original purpose remained obvious, and it used to seriously freak some people out. I also knew of a Goth girl who had herself a retired Daimler hearse, sprayed pink, with 'Highway to Hell' stencilled on the back, blacked out rear windows and neon crosses above the windscreen.
OK, so that's probably too much detail about my freaky friends lol! What I guess I'm trying to say I think we should respect the dead and their memory. However that doesn't mean being afraid or creeped out by death (or items associated with dead people). However I see no reason for this type of mindless vandalism, whether in a morgue or anywhere else for that matter. It's pointless and juvenile, and a complete waste of energy...
I attended Nottingham University, which was still running Netscape on all its campus machines when I left in 2003... mind you, the computer room in our hall building contained half-a-dozen 486's, whose speed could be measured in decades....
These days I'm 'down wit the kids' - I have Firefox :-p
OK Mathue, looks as though NBC have moved it since I posted that link. From the main Feedroom screen, you need to select 'Video Vault' from the jumpbox in the top left-hand corner. Keep clicking the button marked 'More' until Pennhurst Parts 1, 2 & 3 appear down the left-hand side of the screen. At the moment the first segment is around number 40 but I suspect that it will drop further down the list as new items are added. Good luck!
That Gothic script on the front is very cool. But yeah, I wonder why they felt the need to put the name of the institution on the doors? It's not like anyone's going to pinch it...
They are massive, these halls, you could get three or four beds alongside one another! And I'd love those floors in my house (someone 'modernised' it by removing all the Victorian boards and replacing them with chipboard... grrrrr!
It almost looks like a pew, but looking at the way it's bent I doubt it's wood. I'd suggest it's the innards of the radiator / heater, the cover to which lies to the right-hand side....
