Hi All, Sept 22, 2014
Speaking of the dead coming to life--
Several years ago, shortly after some official in the US examined a corpse
and filed an official cause of death report, the corpse woke up and walked
out.
The official explained that his job was to determine the cause of death,
not to determine whether or not the person was dead.
So I understand, this really happened.
Happy Equinox, DW
