Dead Things

[Pyrgusfinn]

So it would seem as though there are several of us here who are interested in death, or rather the study thereof. 
I believe Fisk was the one who suggested a topic for this, so I figured, why not?
It seems everytime someone mentions they have found an interesting photo or video of something dead, several people would like to see them. 
So this is where I suggest we do this.  Link all photos here with a description of what they are.


I wasn't sure what thread this would be most appropriate under, feel free to move it.

Well, we do have the Picture Sharing Thread. Unless discussion is intended to ensue here, any linked pictures can just go there. Is there an intention to discuss the topic alongside showing pictures about it?

[Pyrgusfinn]

Yes. That was my reasoning for posting it in the gd, but if people don't actually discuss it, I'm perfectly fine with merging it.  I was simply thinking that most of the other photos are for laughs, where as these are more of a serious matter? I didn't describe that exactly like I wanted to, but I think you catch my drift.

[MagmarFire]

All right, discussion about it is fine, then. Carry on. ;)

I've been awaiting this thread my whole life.

This is Flatears, a cat that used to terrorise our own cats. We thought we scared him off months ago, but it turns out that he just died under our house. Check out that awesome honeycomb pattern going on by his shoulder/neck area- those were the ants going in and out of him through designated tunnels.

I found this google-searching undersea fish.

this is just so freaking cool

obviously all links lead to dead animals, but these are all mummified/partially mummified due to snow/drying out/buried alive/etc.

[Pyrgusfinn]

Very, very cool.

I was wondering where that honeycomb effect had come from when you first showed me the cat photos.

and undersea fish was surprising. ha. I definitely wasn't expecting a dog. Interesting none the less

Second one made me laugh.

The only dead thing I'm interested in are zombies. Even then they are still uninteresting if I don't have sub-machine guns to spray bullets at them.

Just a preemptive forewarning, dead things are fun and cool, but this is for serious discussion.  Let's not let this lead into tastelessness.

I would think that gore would be okay as long as it doesn't get to the point of being tasteless/disrespectful.  Just add an extra warning saying that there is gore.  And it must be something worthy of discussion.

[Keaton]

Precisely.  Gore is acceptable, as long as it isn't totally tasteless.

Hrmmm...I wonder if this counts??

Why why someone name it -saurus if it has fur and it's obviously not a reptile?
