have cadaver, will travel? no joke! dead test pilots wanted

Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:55 pm

this is no b.s. or joke!! i read it in a recent issue of "popular mechanics" magazine. nasa, the military, darpa, many defense industries are looking for dead test pilots!! no training necessary!! you just need to be dead, & donate your body to science, & researchers handle the rest. a real twist to the gesture isn't it??!! these agencies are using cadavers more & more in space experiments, rocket sled impact testing, ejection seat testing & testing other high technology programs in substitute for the plastic & steel traditional crash dumbies were all used to seeing. the reason for this is they want to examine the results of the tests on internal human organs, something that the dumbies can't provide info for!! it's both morbid & kind of funny if you think of it. for example cadavers have been launched in space suited up in prototype space suits on rockets. makes you think what other black projects they are being used for!! project aurora, the x -48 project. i don't think & hope i will want to be volunteering soon!! :shock: :o

And, at the same time people are picketing and holding protests over the travelling Chinese display 'The Human Body' featuring cadavers that have been cut and sectioned to show how the body is put together by I'd guess, freeze drying to extract all moisture -Makes me scratch my head

If they are in need of cadavers, does that mean they ran out of lawyers?

exactly where do I apply?

True!

Politicians have no spines, and lawyers are heartless and descended from remoras and other blood sucking creatures. 8)



Ramoras don't suck blood. I think you mean Lamprey

Then again Remoras are scavengers.........
