What would you do if you found a body in your trunk?

Cant edit title, meant car*, found a body in your car.

Well?

Apparently one woman drove around with one in her passenger seat for 10 months.

Quote:
California Woman Lets Corpse Ride Shotgun For 10 Months
Say you open your '97 Grand Marquis and discover a homeless woman dead in your passenger seat. Do you call someone? Or do you get a box of baking soda and keep driving? A California woman chose the latter.

Police in Costa Mesa are still trying to sort out the details, after finding the car and the corpse - shrunk to 30 pounds - this week. The driver had apparently befriended the homeless woman and let her sleep in her vehicle; the homeless woman was last seen alive in December.

The driver told police she was afraid to call them after discovering the body, and simply kept driving by using a combination of baking soda and willpower. No charges have been filed yet.

I think the most logical thing to do in this situation is to take funny pictures with the body, then (if the body is still fresh) harvest any usable organs unaffected by the homeless woman's potential addiction to illicit drugs and sell them on the black market. After I guess you torch your car down so that you ward off the evil spirits that are lurking in your backseat.

omg I can't imagine how much baking soda you'd need to cover that up. The hobo's gotta be just baking away in that humid desert air.

The whole decomposition process is a rather gruesome thing. When gasses begin to build up in the body from bacteria running rampant (begining in the GI tract) the body swells then eventually lets go. Not a big explosion but none the less rotting bodily fluids begin to seep out gallons of bacteria laden fluids all over the seat and then into the carpet the underlay and possibly flowing over to the driver side. Maggots will begin to devour the corpse from the inside out crawling around under the skin spilling out of the ears mouth nose and any other open orifice..........Got a gross visual yet?

How the hell could any mentally stable person drive around like this?! At the very least call the police I bet her insurance provider would write off the car and get another junker that don't stink.

Gases building..
hmm.. that being said, why don't we extract gases from the human body to use to our advantage somehow? :O

I think the most unpleasant thing from that link is that the officer said the body decomposed so much that they weren't able to tell the gender... thats a bit.. yea.. how the fuck can you cope with THAT in your passenger seat?

Well, make sure you keep this in mind when you decided to buy a '97 Gran Marquis in the US with a bit of a stained passenger seat and some odd smell nothing can get rid of.

I'd say take the driver in for mental exam. Because that's the only thing I can think of. Like, seriously, wtf. Geez.

We already do. It's called coal and gasoline.

It'd actually work REALLY nicely (this is well documented) if you can somehow convince people to donate their bodies. Actually I believe this is already done in certain parts of the world with farm animals.

Haha I understand the coal and gasoline, just not with humans. Do you have a link to how human bodies could be used (serious, not sarcasm)?

^ All you really have to do is throw a pile of dead bodies into a container and collect the (mostly methane) gases that flow out. Or you can also just incinerate, similar to coal.

There's no way we can do this with humans because of something called "political correctness". That and most people I'd imagine would want to be "disposed" of in a nicer way.
