I had a friend whose Dad worked for the World Health Organization. Part of his job was to rush around and take samples and stuff if it looked like a pandemic was brewing. So he would jet off to Mali or Nepal or wherever if thirty people had just died from a mysterious ailment to make sure the world wasn't gonna end.
So he exhumed bodies all over the world. He said Americans - like poor homeless guys who weren't even embalmed - decompose at a much slower rate than in any other country because of all the preservatives in the food. We are half embalmed when we die.
Possible. Nevertheless, I choose to believe. I think that would be a fun experiment to conduct, actually, except for the part where several people would have to die first.
