Being a visual and verbal chronologue of my peculiar life, foremost my research interests—death and the anatomical body—and travels and people I've met in pursuit of same; my collecting interests—fossils, postmortem photographs, weird news, and new acquisitions to my “museum”; and (reluctantly) my health, having been diagnosed with MS in 1990.

Animal run-ins
A man driving his bakkie in South Africa collided with a bull and - as you can see - the bull ended up on top of the car! It happened yesterday morning when the animal was struck, somersaulted onto the roof, and got lodged in the roof rack. The driver drove like that for 15 km to reach the nearest police station, where the bull unfortunately had to be destroyed after consultation with the SPCA. The authorities used a crane to remove the beast from the bakkie - which may also be totaled. In related, but not so recent news, here is a video of a camel collision (good ending) and a photograph of a run-in between a giraffe and a small plane (bad ending, but not bloody).
