While Grave Encounters is a decent horror film, I don't remember that scene.

It's actually from a pretty creative youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEVfREVGcaY

If it makes any difference it's definitelly from earlier than 2010. I can see this frame in given video, haven't watched the Grave Encounters though.

It's a "Living Dead Dolls Sadie Pencil Sharpener" but as far as I can tell you can't get them new anymore. Maybe eBay or something.

Thanks! Didn't get a chance to re-watch grave encounters to get to that scene, but it gave me something new to checkout (the slenderman / ARG) ... perhaps the movie stole something from Marble Hornets?

Sorry to quote a year old post but how on earth did that happen? This isn't the first photo I've seen of a skeleton in a trench and I still wonder how that's possible for a corpse to be left alone for so long in a crowded place full of people well aware of the diseases that come from dead bodies.

No-man's-land, I think. Sometimes when forces retreated it became very difficult to retrieve the fallen from contested areas.

It's not from Marble Hornets. Some clips of the hands are labeled as part of the series by other channels to get views, but it's not part of the series. Here's an example uploaded by user marbelhornets.

Anyway, this is dumb derail.

At a veterinary clinic I used to work at, the owner kept a fetal version of that in a jar in the operating room. I offered to buy it from him at one point but he refused, informing me that he had traded an EKG machine for it.

A snake breeder showed me the preserved bodies of a two-headed snake and a no-headed snake. The two-headed one suffocated while hatching, and the headless snake had to be cut out of the egg. She could see the snake's sides moving as it tried to breathe for a few minutes, but it had no mouth or nostrils.

I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it
it said they was bitches




There's a funny story behind that. See, the hedgehog signaling pathway is what gives cells the information needed to become different parts of an embryo. It was named that after experiments with it in the 70s caused mutations in larvae that made them grow spiky extensions.

Then a few years ago they discovered a naturally-occurring protein that was reliably causing these mutations in frogs. They named the protein and the branch of the pathway it effected after what it looked like in a microscope.



Last year they discovered an inhibitor for the Sonic Hedgehog pathway. They named it Robotnikinin.

There's so many amazing names for genes and proteins that are actually just geeky references since all the scientists that discover them are total nerds.

Which leads to a heck of a lot of embarrassment when you have to explain to some grieving mother that her son will never have legs because his sonic hedgehog gene isn't fully expressed

Where I worked, the worst "preserved specimen" we had was a dog's heart that was absolutely riddled with heartworms. I asked if I could look at it and he said yes but to be very careful. "If you break it, the smell will live with you until your dying days."

Oooh, this is by Jim Denevan! I had a film teacher who made a documentary about his art called "Sandman", because that's basically what he is: he spends hours with a stick carving these amazing, huge-scale patterns into Bay Area beaches. How he manages to make it look amazing even when you're looking at it from an airplane I'll never know. Some more of his art: http://www.jimdenevan.com/images.htm
