Did
you know:
When the Panama Canal was being built people were dying so fast, at an average of 500 per day from malaria and other diseases they
ran out of graves.
So the French bought 55 gallon drums from Cuba, put the dead
bodies in the barrels and sold them throughout Europe as medical cadavers which in turn helped pay for the digging of the canal.
That's gruesome.
ReplyDeleteGood planning though, and perhaps saved lives with the medical training?
ReplyDeleteThat was one fact I could have done without. E-yuck.
ReplyDeleteApparently I am speechless,as I cannot think of a thing to say.
ReplyDeleteDid they fill the barrels with formaldehyde? What about family members? Didn't they want their deceased?
