body turned out to be rubber, and the two men who claimed that they found
it, Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, have admitted that it was a costume

Though he continues to issue colorful doomsday prophecies of a

Brad,
Saw your link about faces today and thought you ought to see
this book:
Amazing Face Reading Illustrated
Kind of interesting,
really. I was at some meeting a few years ago and this guy gave a
talk about reading faces and then sold his books afterwards. I got
this book and found it pretty darn accurate in a lot of ways. At the
talk, he pulled some people out of the audience and "read" their
faces. According to the people he pulled up to the front, he got
them right.
Anyway, thought you'd find it kind of cool.
