I used to think that grave robbing was done by the lowest of scum but later I found out that Leonardo Da Vincci did it back in his day to better understand the human body. He furthered medical research by providing the most detailed drawing and diagram of the human heart than what was available before that time. They say that it was doctor’s were actually encouraged to study a corpse should they ever get the opportunity.

I find it endlessly amusing that this apparently was the US’s first riot. And John Jay, future cheif justice of the Supreme Court, was knocked out by a rock. How would you like to beam a judge in the face? Ah, gotta love mass chaos :P

now thats just evil, digging up someones body and cutting it up. And it was one huge coincidence that the medical student picked this kid to mess around with.

How do you get from selling corpses to praising the ultra-lords of funk?

"In the morning Governor George Clinton called out the militia and many doctors scurried to leave town."

I wish that sentence had been:

"In the morning Governor George Clinton called out the funk! And many doctors boogied and got down."

There are two new books, "Body Brokers: Inside America's Underground Trade in Human Remains" and "Black Markets: The Supply and Demand of Body Parts" that cover the cadaver black market. While it is illegal in the US to buy or sell bodies, the law allows for reimbursement of "expenses". This can generate $10,000 or more in "expenses". Medical schools can legally pass bodies donated by relatives to brokers who then sell them, or rather expense them.
