Aparently the tooth fairy is a pretty controversial figure among skeletons. some think she is a thief that steals mouth bones others think she is the true skeleton queen.
Ok skeletons, time to discuss Tooth Fairy discourse.
she doesn’t steal them, she receives our offerings of small, disposable teeth that we give so that she doesn’t take larger, more important bones from us
This condition is called sirenomelia. The term comes from “siren” or “mermaid” because of the characteristic fusion of the lower extremities that results from a failure in the development of a normal vascular supply to lower extremities from the lower aorta in utero. Sirenomelia is associated with severe life-threatening complications and is often fatal in the first years of life.
One of the most deadly animals in the world is none other than the geography cone snail. Not surprisingly indigenous to Australia, its venom is potent enough to kill humans, with over 30 deaths being documented. Being poisoned by one of these lethal creatures can result in vision loss, respiratory failure, paralysis, and, eventually, death. The venom is a compound mixture of hundreds of different toxins delivered via a harpoonlike tooth driven from an extendable proboscis.
Ironic as it is, among the elements of the cone snail’s venom are proteins which have have enormous possibilities of being used for pain-killing drugs. Its effects are said to be 10 000 more potent than the popular pain-killer morphine, without its side effects and addictive properties.
The Federal Correctional Institution, Waseca (FCI Waseca) is a minimum security federal prison for women, located in the small town of Waseca, Minnesota. The facility opened in 1995 as a penitentiary for men on a former University of Minnesota campus, and was converted to a women’s prison in 2008. Roughly 960 inmates are housed together in a dormitory-style setting, and range in age from 18-71. Most inmates are doing time for drug-related offenses, but the facility also houses inmates who were convicted of serious federal crimes. In 2014, FCI Waseca built a full-scale beauty salon for inmates, complete with styling chairs, dryer chairs, mani/pedi stations and a shampoo station. The construction of the beauty salon (which cost about $30k) caused a bit of controversy amongst Waseca city officials and Corrections Officers unions, but it was later revealed that the salon was part of a larger effort to introduce an accredited cosmetology program for inmates, which provided them with employment opportunities after their release.
Notable inmates at FCI Waseca have included:
Catherine Greig - The longtime girlfriend of Whitey Bulger, former boss of the Winter Hill gang in Boston, who was a fugitive from justice for 16 years. Greig lived with and protected Bulger during his years on the run, until his capture in 2011. Greig was sentenced to eight years in federal prison for harboring a fugitive and identity fraud. She was later charged with contempt for refusing to testify before a grand jury about who had protected or assisted Bulger during his years on the run, and was given an additional year’s worth of confinement. She is due to be released in late 2020, when she will be almost 70 years old.
Shelley Shannon - In 1993, Shannon shot Dr. George Tiller outside his clinic in Wichita, Kansas. Tiller’s clinic was one of three nationwide which provided late-term abortions, and was frequently the subject of protesting, picketing, vandalism and firebombing by extremist abortion groups. Tiller survived Shannon’s attack, but was shot to death in 2009 by Scott Roeder. During her years in state prison, Shannon joined the “Army of God”, a violent extremist group that commits acts of violence against abortion providers. Two years after beginning her sentence in state prison, Shannon was indicted and pled guilty for 30 counts of arson and butyric acid attacks on abortion clinics in Oregon, California and Nevada. She was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison, to be served after completing her state prison sentence for the assault on Dr. Tiller. She is expected to be released in November of 2018.
Kristen Parker - A former surgical tech at Rose medical center in Denver, Parker was sentenced to 30 years for stealing liquid painkillers from patients, injecting herself with the drugs and refilling the syringes with water or saline. The patients from whom she stole the drugs woke up from surgery in immense pain, and 18 of them are confirmed to have contracted Hepatitis C from the dirty needles. Eight additional patients are suspected to have contracted the disease from Parker. The judge assigned to her case tossed out a plea bargain that would have sentenced her to 20 years in prison, and remarked that “She didn’t quit; she got caught.” In court proceedings, when asked why she did it, Parker answered “I won’t sugarcoat it. I was a drug addict.”
Shelley Shannon was released from federal custody on November 7th, 2018, amidst great concern by abortion providers across the country that she may plan further attacks on clinics or inspire others to plan attacks. She had been living in a halfway house in Portland, Oregon since May of 2018, and will be under supervision for three years. Her location is undisclosed.
Crime scene photo taken on the morning of December 26, 1996 of the door leading to the ‘’wine cellar’’ in the basement of the Ramsey’s home. At the time this photograph was taken, unknown to the officer who took it, the body of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey was laying behind the door. The little girl had been reported missing earlier that morning by her mother Patsy, who claimed she found a 3-pages ransom note demanding money for the safe return of her daughter. JonBenét would, instead, be found dead in the basement of the home by her father during the afternoon, who upon finding the lifeless body of his daughter, carried her upstairs, thus destroying key evidence. Had the officer who took this photograph simply opened the door you see, he would have found JonBenét’s body, and the case may have been solved by now. The officer did not open the door because at the time JonBenét had only been reported missing, none of the officers expected that she had, in fact, never been kidnapped. They weren’t expecting to find her dead in the home. This was just one of several mistakes made by the Boulder police department, who didn’t have the experience required for this kind of crime. 22 years later the JonBenét Ramsey case remains unsolved.
