Hmm. I go to read about imperialism and Zero Dark Thirty and the link takes me to an article about drinking beer and peeing. New link needed, perhaps?

It will be interesting to read a scientists take on death who doesn't actually study decomposition science. I'm not sure if I'm being sarcastic or not...

For the record, leave me out for the bugs and birds.
