Wow, another creepy one..

Sat 08-20-2005

I worked here from Feb. 1969 to Jan. 1971. I worked in the male acute surgery ward in bldg 23. I was in the basement Where the morgue and lab and autopsy room was, many times. Across from the autopsy room there was a glass room about 12x12 ft, that had multiple shelves from ceiling to floor with large glass jars filled with preseved brains. Pretty creepy to a nineteen year old. PS The morgue had a distinct nasy order.

R.I.P.

From under my bed, they kept brains in a jar because they ran out of skull casings, and what the hell does one do to keep the slippery little suckers from disapearing under the table.

They were preparing for the next zombie take-over! Better have plenty of brains to hand out to them!
