Luna I think you're confused as to who broke what, as well as the reasoning behind it.

So....not only do you guys frequently TRESSPASS, but you STEAL and destroy things of important historical nature....nice, real nice. Anything for a fricken photo, huh?? Why don't you just go become a bloody paparazzi photographer and take shots of Britney's bum. You people are sick. I used to really like this site, until I learned you were defacing the properties of those who suffered at the hands of twisted fate.....all so you could "get a cool shot". LOSERS!!!

It was born from the absolute boredom of waiting for a few wiggerish buddies to get done with their NYC style tags. I tried to make it a mix of Anthrax and Iron Maiden style letters because their's were so...well...*ethnic*. I wanted to make a statement for Heavy Metal since most graffitti has a rap influence to it.

Brilliant. you Sir are a man amongst men! i love it.

"...see the uvula?" - Ah so its a female mental hospital :-)

"So men don't get to have uvulas anymore?"

Guess nobody else saw Monster House.....

I remember these at the Y when I went there almost 40 years ago, I'd forgotten about those things.

Headless Mary, good name for a Metal Band.

Amazing colours - awesome

Autoclaves cannot be used to cremate people! Sorry but I had to comment on that because it's SO very not true. They steralize with steam like a bigger, hotter veggie steamer. Not to be too gross but what comes out of your veggie steamer would be what would happen to a person in an autoclave.

I agree! Taking things is against the urban exploration code...take nothing but pictures; leave nothing but footprints. Don't mean to sound too cliche but I think things should be left as they were abandoned for nature to take them back.

Silent Hill was filmed in Brantford, Ontario. I lived there at the time and they were going through a really bad economic recession that resulted in a lot of closed stores in the downtown core and they filmed Silent Hill there without much changes to the downtown. I remember watching the filming for a while; it was pretty good entertainment for a town that nothing much happened in.

You know that everyone calls these a Morgue, but really when you think of it, it's actually a walk in freezer, just like you would see in a restaurant, but with the exception of there being lots or doors on the front, and with pull our tables that the bodies lay on. When you go to your local gas station, or grocery store's freezer section, it looks just like what you see here in the picture, but with big glass doors that you pull open and there's shelves where they place the milk and ice cream on, and if you look straight to the back you can see the rest of the cooler where the shelves are stocked from the back side, so basically a morgue is a modified walk in cooler like exactly what you see in your local neighborhood grocery store, gas station or restaurant. I know because I am a refrigeration repair guy, and have seen many of these.
