Morgue forklift used for heavy bodies
An Australian morgue has bought a forklift to help its staff
handle the increasing number of very heavy bodies. Matthew
Orde, the forensic pathologist at the Glebe Morgue in
Sydney, said morbidly obese corpses need special handling,
The Sydney Morning Herald reported. The forklift will help
with moving them, although it will not solve another
problem, that soft tissue like fat tends to putrefy more
quickly. "A fat person will go off more quickly than a
skinny person," he said, putting the problem delicately.
About half of the population of New South Wales is
considered obese. "The deceased persons we get reflect the
growing obesity of the community," he said.

Man sees Jesus on hospital ceiling
As Pope Benedict XVI spent time in New York, a local hospital
was getting attention for a water mark on a ceiling that
some think looks like Jesus. Junior Rodriguez, 31, a cab
driver receiving care for anemia, said he noticed the
quarter-sized face of Jesus when he looked up from his bed
one day in St. John's Queens Hospital, the New York Post
reported. "I was freaking out. There was Jesus looking
down on me. This room is blessed," Rodriguez said of his
April 10 discovery. Hospital employees reportedly dubbed
Room 232 the "Jesus room." Hundreds of patients and workers
piled into the room to catch a glimpse of the brown mark.
"Everyone was screaming and running around. Everyone was
coming in to see it," said Pedro Agreda, 47, who was
sharing the room with Rodriguez.

JUMBO POP-UP HAMPER
Normal Price: $4.99
DEAL PRICE: $1.99
Okay, I LOVE these. And I use them for just about everything.
With the warm weather coming, they are great for outdoors.
I love to put all the pool toys in them. It allows for them
to dry after being in the pool and it keeps them all together.
Get a few of them. You can use them for so many things. Ideal
for college students, holding toys, and all the laundry you
can fit. The best part is the nylon construction that makes
this light as a feather.
It folds down to 6" and pops up to hold TWO (2) FULL LOADS
of LAUNDRY.
Store it in the closet or in the corner of the room. We
guarantee this will help keep the kids' rooms tidy. This is
one of the best products we have ever carried and the
lightest hamper you will ever carry.

Old-fashioned baby names back in style
Old-fashioned names such as Abigail and Sadie have become
popular once again for U.S. babies, author Laura Wattenberg
says. Wattenberg, author of "The Baby Name Wizard: A
Magical Guide to Finding the Perfect Name for Your Baby,"
said people are more open to choosing these types of names
because they are old enough to have fresh new meaning, The
Washington Times reported. "Old names -- like Emma -- are
definitely coming back. It's made the perfect 'U' (graph).
There is typically a 90-year or so period before we're
willing to revive names again," Wattenberg said. The old
names have also become popular because they remind parents
of a seemingly simpler time, said Nancy Schlossberg, a
retired counseling psychology professor at the University
of Maryland. "We idealize previous generations especially
at a nervous time like this. Picking an old name is a way
to connect to what we think was a more stable time,"
Schlossberg told the newspaper.
