Other sites claim they were both put on the floor. Shrug.

I’ve read this three times and have no idea what it means.

I think they are saying that the Super 8 got mixed in with Scale Kleen, which produced the lethal gas. The disagreement is only as to how Scale Kleen ended up on the floor - some sites say it was accidentally knocked over and spilled, others say the manager was attempting to clean the floor with both chemicals at the same time.

The NBCUniversal-owned cable network on Sunday announced that it is reviving the pop culture talk show a mere three years after the Joel McHale-hosted series signed off. Comedian and actress Jade Catta-Preta will host the series when it returns in early 2020.

Fall fell back and Winter sprang forward.

It depends heavily on where you live, what the soil was like, and what the weather was like. The biggest problem is that burying bones often leads to the degradation of the bones themselves. Those who collect skeletons and don't use beetles will get a wire cage, stake it down out of the way, and put the corpse in there so that the insects can get in, but predators can't. Being above ground means that the bones aren't basically soaking in bacteria laden water, too. Then, after the majority of the meat it gone, the bones get soaked in a solution (I believe borax and water, but you'd have to check) to loosen the remaining flesh, which is brushed away. After that, they are soaked in a peroxide solution to re-whiten them, but not long enough to rubberize them.

You'd want to look up the specifics, but I recall that you can get everything you need from your local Wal-Mart. I've only done it a couple of times, and it was years ago (and one was a raccoon.)

In season 1, we showed you why the murders of an innocent family who witnessed a deal gone wrong was absolutely necessary for me to get a new yacht. In season 2, you can see me ride around in it!

FLORENCE, Ore. (KATU) – It was the whale explosion seen ‘round the world. Today, November 12, 2019, marks the 49th anniversary of KATU's infamous whale explosion.

When a 45-foot, 8-ton whale washed ashore on a beach near Florence in November 1970, the Department of Transportation had a stinky situation on its hands. They had to figure out what to do with the massive corpse.

It had been so long since a whale had washed up in Lane County, that no one could remember how to get rid of one.

In selecting its battle plan, the Oregon State Highway Department decided the carcass couldn't be buried because it might be uncovered. It couldn't be cut up and then buried because no one wanted to cut it up, and it couldn't be burned, so dynamite it was - some 20 cases, or a half ton of it.

KATU’s Paul Linnman was at the scene reporting and recording when the blubber went “boom.” The camera stopped rolling immediately after the blast, but Linman recalls making his way out of the area as huge chunks of blubber fell everywhere.
