this story is officially off the fucking railz!

here's an update on the long island serial killer. spoiler alert : it's TWO killers! at LEAST!

Long Island residents, already grappling with the notion that a serial killer has been dumping bodies in their midst, got more disturbing news on Monday: a second serial killer may have been at work.

Since April, law enforcement authorities have been trying to determine if four sets of human remains discovered in the thick beachfront brush on Jones Beach Island in Suffolk County were also the work of the killer believed responsible for the deaths of four prostitutes whose remains were found nearby in December close to Gilgo Beach.

But county officials said Monday that the killings involving two of the more recently discovered victims — while unconnected to the first four bodies — “appear to be related to each other.” The officials said one of the recent bodies had been identified as belonging to Jessica Taylor, 20, who had worked as a prostitute in Washington and briefly in New York before disappearing in July 2003.

we also get some gruesome new deets about the latest bodies found:

He said one most likely was of an Asian man in his late teens or early 20s. He appeared to have died a violent death, but the circumstances appeared different from those of the other people whose bodies have been found, Mr. Spota said.
...
“The killer or killers of Jane Doe 6 and Ms. Taylor went to extra lengths in an attempt to prevent the victims from being identified,” Mr. Spota said, alluding to the dismemberments and separate sites for the torso and other parts. “That is clearly not so with any of the other remains that we have found.”
...
Mr. Spota pointed out that Ms. Taylor’s killer had even tried to scrape off a tattoo from her lower back. The tattoo helped the police make their identification of Ms. Taylor about six months after her remains were spotted in Manorville in 2003, according to news accounts. (via)

AAAHHH!!

real-life dexter

you've probably heard something about all those bodies they've been finding along a spooky stretch of beach out on scary long island. last year, police found 4 dead lady bodies. a couple of weeks ago, they found 4 more. and yesterday, they found parts of 2 more. they think because of the specific measures of caution taken by the killer, he might even be a cop. so i just need to know what these ladies did to piss dexter off.

the other thing i need to know is what that cute pony is doing in the mix.

jicyww, season 6 premieres september 25th.

the uterus : something to be proud of?

the guardian published this scientist lady's fascinating expose about the wild, wondrous world of the womb!

"The uterus, or womb, is the organ par excellence. It functions so efficiently that a full understanding of its processes may lead to novel treatments for a plethora of medical disorders.

The inner lining of the womb is the endometrium. This lining responds to the female hormones and is shed monthly in a period. During bleeding, the endometrium is red and inflamed and looks very similar to a wound on the skin. In contrast to the skin, however, the endometrium has the extraordinary ability to repair rapidly without scarring. This efficient monthly repair is unparalleled in the male, or outside the reproductive system."

enjoy!

thx g!

woah.
