This has to be added to the meme collage of Sadam and digging for diamonds etc.

The only thing I question is why the artist who drew the illustration of the molds being filled choose to put the funnel in the body cavity's asshole.

Archaeologists preserved the newly discovered remains using a variation of a technique developed by Italian archaeologist Giuseppe Fiorelli in 1863. The process involves pouring liquid chalk into cavities left by decomposing bodies; this plaster fills gaps in preserved bones and teeth, creating a cast of the bodies as they looked at the moment of death.

Was it a matter of some good timing that these casts were able to be made? That is, with enough time, wouldn't the voids/cavities themselves likely collapse with the gradual shifting of the soil?

Alternate caption:

Most people dont know that boofing was actually invented by archaeologists researching Pompeii. Justice Kavanaugh was unavailable for comment.

It'll always be plugging to me.

Also, why does the article only talk about alcohol? Seems like a huge oversight, given how easy it is to rectally absorb other stuff besides liquid.

Like ecstasy.
