So you're all set if Jimmy Hoffa shows up! ;-o

Yeah. You can tell he's from Sydney, can't you! Notice the
cunning way he failed to mention his rolls of chicken wire,
too...

If you use enough concrete, you don't need the chicken wire.

Goodness me! And you claim to be a former Sydney resident? If
that's true, and you're not actually a Tasmanian local posing as
an immigrantto gain some extra gene poll status, then you would
surely know the chicken wire is not to reinforce the concrete, so
much as to also envelope the body and so stop the embarrassment
of body parts accidentally surfacing before the crabs prawns
small fish and eels have finished their job.

I bow to your & Oz's expertise in this area. A bulldozer and a dam wall
are, I'm told, a satisfactory alternative and no worries about floaters
either.


Some years ago when we were putting in deep sea moorings (5000m of
water) we used to embed the top half of a Barbie doll in the concrete
block, up to her waist in the cement. Eventually, as always happens,
someone sans SOH complained and we had to desist.

My daughters always did wonder where their broken Barbie dolls went.....

Now THAT"S sick...

That's what they said when they found out.

There's a glass case on my ship with a soft toy animal in it. It's been
photographed down at 5000m of water attached to a CTD frame. Survived
rather intact considering. Memento of a scientific programmer who
didn't.

In the case of Melbourne, Tullamarine Airport (everyone can guess
where the bodies are, but no-one wants to dig...)

Well no wonder, you didn't use chicken wire.
