This reminds me of something I read somewhere....aha, here it is: http://www.snopes.com/college/medical/cadaver.asp
I think the field trip was legit, given the subject of forensics. Not a fun thing to discover on the trip, though. I'd be really upset if I was in that situation.
Quoth TelephoneAngel View PostWell............ok then.
Back in my day we studied Latin and Botany.I had no idea children nowadays study forensics and medicals. I am so far behind the times.Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

What the heck is a body farm?! O.o
And on that note, the ONLY forensics we got to do in high school was a one-day field trip to the local university to participate in "Chemical Murder Mystery."
We were meant to start with a lecture about forensics at the uni when a "detective" broke in saying that a crime had been committed and we were to proceed to the scene of the crime. From there, we split into groups and learned different methods of testing forensic data. At the end of the day we gave a presentation and looked at what we believed was the culprit.The best professors are mad scientists! -Zoom

I gotta second that...BODY FARM??? I have this image of bodies just sticking up in rows like zombies
As for me I would never want to go to a morgue on a field trip of any kind...I did everything in my power to avoid taking biology in high school cause I didn't want to dissect anything.https://www.youtube.com/user/HedgeTV

Calling them "body farms" makes it sound pretty weird, but they're actually quite interesting and useful."We were put on this Earth to fart around, and don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise." -Kurt Vonnegut

ugh....I have heard of those now that I think about it.
I was reading the article and I find it a bit creepy that this was a forensics CLUB. Yeesh.

Quoth Gawdzillers View PostI'm no expert, but from what I know, it's a facility where the decomposition of the human body can be studied. At UT Knoxville...
Bill Bass, founder of the body farm at UT, says that ideally similar research facilities would be established in all the major climate zones of the US to study how bodies decay in a hot, dry environment such as the Southwest, or a relatively cool, dry environment such as Montana, or in temperate zones such as the Northeast or Alaska that get a lot more exposure to cold temperatures than the Southeast does, not to mention swampy areas such as Louisiana or South Florida. Having one in Western North Carolina, which is only about ten degrees cooler on average than Knoxville, and which has an identically forested terrain serves no purpose other than convenience for the students at WCU who don't want to bother going all the way to Knoxville constantly.Last edited by Antisocial_Worker; 10-05-2010, 09:43 PM.Drive it like it's a county car.

Damn you and your Cracked links!
You won't see much mention of this on CSI since it would take away from the usual 30-minutes devoted to David Caruso putting on and/or removing his sunglasses,I don't go in for ancient wisdom
