It might be messy and it might take a while, but by the time it got down to bones, I think they'd know. The protagonist of "The Emmigrants" (or maybe it was "The Immigrants" by then) got caught in a blizzard and carved up his own cow so he could stay warm inside the cow. Maybe if your dead body was inside the cow, no one would even think to look for it there. Again, years later, bones might tell the tale...<br /><br />Hmmm... I think the best (and also grossest) way to dispose of a body that I ever read in a mystery was tossing it in the pig yard and letting the pigs eat it, since they supposedly ate every bit of anything they were given. I have no idea if that was a fictional conceit or true, and most of us don't have a herd of pigs to throw our dead bodies into, anyway. If we had dead bodies, which I assure you, I don't.<br /><br />Oh, and there was a famous old mystery story -- a short story, I think -- where the detective solved it by noticing how many bottles of meat sauce (I think it was called Numo Numo or Nummo Nummo Sauce) the suspect had in his dining room. He figured out that the guy had eaten the body.<br /><br />I've grossed myself out entirely now.JulieKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12521424567356348282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-29669505415242828352010-02-26T16:12:48.713-06:002010-02-26T16:12:48.713-06:00You heard it here, first.

Wh...I love the poem How to Dispose of a Dead Body! What does it mean? (Just kidding.) My coworker Marilyn recommends digging a big hole with a backhoe, placing the body inside the hole, then covering the body up with a dead cow. I suppose that is if you don't want the body to be discovered. Otherwise, I think most of us would prefer the magnolias, peonies or the ocean.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853560881137493014noreply@blogger.com
