This is a pretty gruesome topic, but may be of interest to some here.

Though somewhat a distasteful job, somebody has to do it I suppose. However this is really an interesting article here Mike and makes a lot of sense if one gets past the grusome part of it. Though I cannot imagine myself powling around removing and examining insects from a dead person or animal for that matter. I believe Tom had a job similar somewhere along the line, though not exactly if I recall him posting and it is one that more than likely is a thankless one. I guess if you are the examiner or scientist you may at least get a bit of self satisfaction from a job well done in solving a very unfortunate situation.

Someone, I believe Patricia Cornwell, wrote some very popular novels about a person who gets involved in this stuff. I keep meaning to read 'em, but haven't.
