Anybody seen a corpse?
Why do I have the feeling Sarah is going to turn up on EBay?

HILLSBOROUGH – The body of a woman who died more than 180 years ago was stolen from the remote Bible Hill Cemetery sometime around Halloween, police said yesterday.

The gravesite of Sarah Symonds, who died in June 1821 at the age of either 30 or 32, was excavated with a rectangular hole dug 5.5 feet deep, police said. Mounds of dirt from the hole were left on either side of the hole, and the headstone was intact.

1. Why, did you lose one?

Must not have been much left after 180 years.

...sliced thin, both vertically and horizontally, so you can see the cross-sections of various bones and organs. And I've seen that creepily-cheerful mummy on match.com commercials.

Edit: omitted "commercials" because I was once a Tivo.
