Naw, that's not true. But I've always wondered about it. You can buy human bones from these scientific supply houses that sell to schools and stuff. Hey, why not?

That's a thought there, David . . .
I'll have to make some amendments to that donation form . . .
In the Musical Instruments Dept. of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, there's an African stringed instrument (kinda like a banjo) and the body (or "bowl") consists of a human skull with the very top of the crown sawn off and a piece of goatskin stretched over it for a soundboard . . . |
