Culture Buzz Any one of these photos would make a great album cover for your Danish black metal band. A recent forensic anthropology study at Texas State University, using the remains of those who have donated their bodies to science, is turning up important new information on how vultures eat us when we die.
Culture Buzz This is a real photo of a human skeleton and it is disturbing. No, seriously, don't look at this if you are especially squeamish.
Culture Buzz This is heartbreaking. Passengers at a station in Shanxi, China noticed an elderly man sleeping on the bench for an unusually long time. When someone went to check on him, he would not wake and his body was cold. He had been dead for quite some time. A monk who happened to be waiting for a train in the same station prayed for the man. WARNING: Unsettling images.
Culture Buzz As the poor sap who was mauled to death by his pet hippo unfortunately found out, hippos are not cute and cuddly—they are 5 ton murder machines. The hippopotamus is not a pet, it is nature's morbidly obese psychopath.
Culture Buzz So that makes this video especially creepy and oozing with tragic irony. Marius Els was a farmer in South Africa who had raised Humphrey the hippo since it was a baby. Els' body was discovered last week, ripped apart by the hippo's razor sharp teeth. The fate of the hippo remains unknown.
Culture Buzz These Russian corpses are really Putin on the Ritz. (I'm so sorry.) Anatoly Moskvina robbed the graves of over two dozen women and then played dress up with their bodies in his cramped three bedroom apartment. The most horrifying episode of Hoarders ever.
Culture Buzz Graphic photos of the slain dictator in a Misrata morgue. Not for the squeamish.
Culture Buzz I'll give you a hint: it sets itself up for embarrassingly lurid headlines featuring puns on “hot water” and “in the dog house.” We'll let the AP take it from here in telling the sad, strange tale of Brett Cummins…
Culture Buzz Well, this is absolutely horrifying. Imagine being a worker in a morgue when a corpse comes back to life. That's when all your training for the zombie apocalypse goes out the window and you simply start screaming like a tiny child.
Horrifying video. Hamza Al-Khatib, a 13-year-old boy, was detained by Syrian forces at a checkpoint in the village of Jiza on April 29th. His barely recognizable corpse was returned to his parents nearly a month later. This video, filmed and posted on Youtube by his parents, details the horrific wounds covering Hamza's body. He was beaten, burned, shot and had his genitals cut off. Hamza has since become a martyr for the Syrian rebellion. WARNING: Graphic video.
Culture Buzz These disturbing images, obtained by Reuters, show the corpses of three unidentified men who were shot by U.S. Navy SEALs in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. They were taken by a Pakistani security official inside the compound shortly after the raid. None of them appear to be bin Laden himself. Again, these are very graphic. Not for the faint of heart.
FOR TEN YEARS. Her voice will haunt you.
