Grip Tape’s Reviews > Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers > Status Update

Learned a lot about how many parts of the human body are used and studied after death. Also learned that maggots look like rice and sound like krispies when clustered.

Today I learned that anatomists of the past paid people to dig up dead bodies. Not only that, but it wasn’t illegal to dig them up so the court basically charged them for stealing the stuff on the bodies since there was no law at the time against it.
