On the side, it says that rigor mortis (muscular tissues are rigid/incapable of contraction) happens around 3-6 hours after death. Algor Mortis (body loses heat to its surround environment) happens after 24 hours. Rigor Mortis of the body will subside after 72 hours, and around the 168 hour mark, 60% of your body's tissue will have been consumed by maggots.

The last finger (pinky) is labeled DRY/REMAINS and says:
Plant growth around the CDI may occur.
Only dry skin, cartilage, and bones remain (will become dry and bleached if exposed to the elements).
If all soft tissue is removed from the cadaver, it is completely skeletonized, and if only portions of the bones are exposed, it is partially skeletonized.

The forth finger (ring finger) is labeled ADVANCED DECAY and says:
Insect activity is significantly reduced during this stage. The CDI surrounding the carcass will increase soil carbon and nutrients (phosphorous, potassium, calcium, and magnesium). There are changes in pH, and significant increase in soil nitrogen.

The third finger (middle finger) is label ACTIVE DECAY and says:
Greatest mass loss- feeding of maggots and the purging of decomposition fluids into environment and the fluids accumulate around body (CDI).
Liquefaction/disintegration is apparent and there are strong smells.
The end of active decay is after the maggots leave. Decomposition is slowest underground- especially in clay or other solid substances that prevent air from reaching the body because most bacteria need oxygen to live.

The second finger (pointer finger) is labeled BLOAT and it says:
Accumulation of gases causes bloated appearance, and natural liquids and liquifying tissues become frothy. Pressure of gases within the body causes fluids to escape from holes (nose, mouth, and anus). Gas pressure causes rupturing of the skin, and maggots hatch/feed on tissues.
Maggot activity causes skin to slip and hair to detach from skin. Feeding and gases creates holes in the skin. Ruptures allow in oxygen for development of the fly larvae/aerobic microorganisms.

To anyone who can't read it, it's a graph that breaks down the 5 steps of human decomposition; each finger shows a certain stage in the process, and points to the information that is relevant to this stage.
The first finger (thumb) is labeled FRESH and it says:
Blood no longer pumped through the body, drains to lower parts of body under gravity, creating blush-purple discoloration, creates pale appearance in some places and darker in others. Shortly after death, muscular tissues become rigid (rigor mortis).
From death, the body loses heat to surrounding environment, heart stops and there is a release of cellular enzymes that start the breakdown of surrounding cells/tissues. Visible changes are limited during the "fresh stage", but autolysis causes blisters on the skin.

I guess my sociology book and my sociology professor at my university who has a Ph.D are both wrong then, considering we covered wage gap in class and all the studies we went over showed that in every field, men consistently made more than their female counterparts.

I guess I took your comment as trying to defend Trump. My bad. Most people are focusing more on Trump because he puts himself and his dumb antics in the spotlight so much, which lets all the other candidates slip under the radar a bit.

Trump has went bankrupt at least 4 times (if he can't even handle is own businesses properly, how can he handle an entire country?), wants to sleep with his daughter, is proudly racist, wants to use tax money to build a wall to keep "illegal immigrants" out, wants all Muslims to be banned from the U.S. and wear a badge so everyone can identify them, and if he keeps his big mouth going he's gonna end up pissing off an enemy country and causing another World War. And the list goes on and on. Hilary may not be a good presidential candidate, but neither is Trump.

^^Thank you. Even if more females entered into the engineering field, they'd still make less than men. /That's/ the wage gap people are talking about: working in the same field doing the same job and still getting paid less- the wage gap isn't about a female philosophy major making less than a male doctor. Don't know why people get this confused all the time.

It's implying that when people laugh at someone trying to attempt to better educate themselves with another language and another culture, it makes them not want to even try at all, and consequently makes others not want to attempt it at all either for fear of being made fun of, which creates an even bigger divide between cultures and cultural tolerance. So, though you may find it funny to laugh at people who are struggling to educate themselves, sometimes it's best to keep your laughter to yourself and let them fucking learn- tactfulness and common decency would tell you that.

That doesn't mean you need to use it to sell a cleaning product or a hamburger. C'mon now. That's just proof that product can't stand on its own.

I don't think he has billions anymore, considering his company is plummeting more and more every day.

Yeah but putting that big ass paper there in plain sight kind of defeated the original purpose of hiding the package in the first place...

Okay, so why are we comparing teenage girls to soldiers in war? Like no one else on the planet is rightfully allowed to have any feelings because there are people in war who have it a lot worse?
Maybe I'm reading too far into this, but still- these two things are not related.

It would only work if there's a mirror on the back of that brush, otherwise it's useless.
