Ring

This hopper, used to wash out various body parts during an autopsy, was incredibly foul looking at first sight - but the cracks and stains leading into this grotesque hole were quite mesmerizing, and maybe even beautiful.

This image is a paradox for me - I love the colors...but not what I suspect made the colors in the first place.

Okay now that is a creepy shot. It looks like a huge eye staring unblinkingly at all that stares at it.

Perhaps the cracks would look cool to me if I didn't know it was used to wash body parts. Ewwwwwwwww.

Looks like there's something still in the drain. But it does have an "antiquew" look to it. A well "loved" sink.

Makes me think of the sehower scene from 'Psycho', Then again, ever since we watched it, I have never been able to look at showers the same way again.

This actually inspired a drawing of mine. I was thinking about all the people talking about DNA and i thought " What if someone took all that DNA and made a new person?" and drew a girl stepping out of an autopsy shower, just like this! Great job!

There were never any autopsies done on grounds. I really wish u had spoken with some of us employees before u jumped to your own twisted conclusions of Western I was a nurse there for 25 yrs. - much of this info is incorrect as far as the pic. notes. So sad that the truth was not told.
