7:41a - How to clean a skull
How to clean a skull, by Ruth Gronquist. Alaska Department of Fish & Game, Division of Wildlife Conservation.
http://www.wildlife.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=hunting.skull
"Every year thousands of people hunt and trap in Alaska. One of the small treasures discarded by many of these outdoors people is the skull of the hunted or trapped animal. When clean, a skull is a source of curiosity and wonder. ... Cleaning a skull is an easy process and can be no more unpleasant than pulling meat off a cooked soup bone. Here are a few suggestions of how too clean a skull for display or study." [More] (via Daniel)

7:42a - Don't mess with beauticians
Armed robber gets extreme makeover, by Francis McCabe. Shreveport Times, June 15, 2005.
http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050615/NEWS03/506150321
"An armed robber brandishing a revolver and some tough talk entered Blalock's Beauty College demanding money Tuesday afternoon. ... [As he was leaving, Dianne Mitchell tripped the robber so he] dropped the gun and tumbled into a wall. Bishop jumped on the man's back, driving him into the ground. Seizing the opportunity, Mitchell rallied her students. 'We moved some furniture after that,' she yelped with joy as she retold the tale. Arming themselves with curling irons, chairs, a wooden table leg and clenched fists, the women attacked." [More, and great photo of Mitchell] (via Obscure Store)
