This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

.....how would a coroner go about removing a skeleton without destroying the body? I'm pretty sure this is nowhere in a coroner job description. I'd tell him the same thing.

So what you're saying is that Anon just asked the wrong person.

I would assume you would need to dissolve everything but the bones, unless you want to start cutting and peeling and pulling and scraping.

They use special beetles. Eats all the meat off nice and clean.

I went to the Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma City and they have an area in the entrance where you can watch the beetles do their thing.

That would be something worth seeing

You just need a straw and some patience.
