Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
So Hannah and went back to the cemetery today, mainly to check out our skull. We examined it like crazy, but being respectful we didn't bother even touching the thing. We were convinced that what we had found was a (relatively) recently, albeit sloppily, buried corpse. Or at least the head of one. It was so oddly placed too. All of the conditions had made it seem that perhaps we had found the place where a murder victim had been hidden! We were (or at least I was) so excited (Yeah, horrible, I know.).
So we went and grabbed some cops. They came and checked out the spot, and then tried to pull our skull out of the dirt. At first, Hannah and I both thought 'Woah, it's just the top of the head!' Then the officer said with a laugh, 'It's a shell!'
Indeed. A big, old clam shell. Come to think of it, when I was looking at our photos of the thing I had seen and wondered about an odd line in front of a black spot and hole spot which Hannah and I had believed to be a 'wound'. I guess that strange, familiar line was just a one of the clams growth rings.
Even the police had been concerned; As we left, the detective was exclaiming to the to officers, "It had just the right lines and everything!"
...At least it's funny...
Lesson today, kiddies, jumping to conclusions is silly, and it's hard not to do it when things seem especially obvious.
