"Francis Bacon (painter)"

I just want to say I'm pretty sure there's a red river hog at the Cincinnati Zoo that's named Sir Francis Bacon, if you want to add a little joyful confusion to the scene.

Good to know. I can use that, split at a sawmill. Are there sawmills any longer? Lye helps remove DNA if used correctly. Would I lie to you?.

This came up in conversation last night (criminal justice majors are a trip); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_farm

No lye.

Cost of living, tax regimes and various laws in Luxembourg vs nearby German cities.

Route of guided tours of the Vatican, and where people might be able to sneak off...

The clothing styles and haircuts of the characters in Pillion, and the year it was set. I really need to just watch the film. Research for stories, honest. But mostly just to swoon...
