Washington phone calls, amputated legs, irrational phobias, Australian surreal art
Jon and I are definitely not up for skiing at Whistler! We want to spend time with Eric and meet Fay (with Harmony in tow), but maybe we'll confirm something later in the week when Jon's talked to Harmony about this!
I got another weird call, this time from Washington. Whose phone number is 425-648-9435, anyhow? Told Corey about it, who looked it up on a reverse phone directory, and said it came from Halls Lake, WA and they use Pac-West Telecomm: he'd have to spend money to find out more. Then I told him about the Winnipeg / Manitoba number 204-927-2271 and the Saskatchewan number 306-425-3101. Most reverse lookup places don't have cell phones or unlisted numbers, he tells me. (or Canadian numbers) Reverse Phone Directory has ones that claim to have results on all three, but want $15 a pop to tell you. No way are we spending money to find THAT out! :P
Today's Recently Deceased Yet Truly Morbid Fact!
A man expecting to find his recently deceased father's belongings opened a plastic bag sent to him by a funeral home and discovered an amputated human leg. Christopher Runyan received the bag in January, 2005 from Sinnickson's Moriches Funeral Home, which handled the funeral of his father, Paul, 77, who died the previous week. Runyan said a foul odor was coming from the bag, and he opened it and discovered the leg. "The stench that came out almost knocked me over," Runyan told the Daily News. "I turned totally white." The funeral home had received the bag from the hospital, and Lee W. Sinnickson said in a statement that it is the policy of his funeral home "not to open the contents of a decedent's personal effects." Suffolk County police Sgt. George Kelly said Tuesday that investigators determined that the leg belonged to a patient who died Jan. 13. "We believe it was just a case of human error," Kelly said.

Morbid Mirth Du Jour!
What if Worth 1000 held a Photoshop contest and the topic was Irrational Phobias?
Here's what you'd get. Thanks to Shifter for the link.

Morbid Art Du Jour!
Jim and Mary send me a link to a collection of Underground Australian Surreal Art. The toy art is particularly excellent. Enjoy!
Kinda reminds me of the changed artwork at the Whip, which Jeremy noticed first... o_O
