    1. I once talked to a guy whos job was turning unclaimed corpses into skeletons like the one in your class.

      you must be in high school because by any level of college, 40% of the bone models are real xd it ain’t freaky unless you make it

    3. For me growing up … All of them were real… I would seriously sit and think about who they were and what life choices they made just to end up being the back drop to some lady talking i’m ignoring.

      I mean i would only expect that a bio class would have a real skeleton. People donate their bodies to science for reasons such as that. So not exactly midly interesting, but neat nonetheless

    5. Don’t know if it is still the case, but it used to be cheaper to buy an actual human skeleton than a replica.

    6. They used real skeletons in the 1982 movie Poltergeist for the pool scene because back then real skeletons were cheaper than fake ones.

    7. I have legal paperwork drawn up to donate my skeleton to a haunted house…. Unfortunately they closed for good, so I am amending it to donate to my old high school.

    8. 20 plus years ago me and some friends broke into our high school biology lab and stole the skeleton for what at the time seemed like a harmless and funny joke. ( turned it into flying Superman with a “boner” and displayed it in chapel ). No damage to skeleton or anything else, just a ruckus chapel the next morning.
      Next day the Sheriff was on campus and they were investigating because it was a real skeleton. Never caught anyone for it but I think about it now and again. We had no idea it was an actual crime.

      Hope statute of limitations are up on that one…

    9. We had one in my anthropology class in college. The anthropology teacher found it at the school in a locker that had been locked for years and no one knew what was inside. He had a locksmith come out and open it, and they were both very surprised to find a real human skeleton inside!

      He of course did some investigating and found that the skeleton was almost certainly from an Asian man, and that the school acquired the skeleton in the 1970s. I remember some speculation that there may have been some foul play involved in the man’s death based on his race and things that were happening at that time period, but I can’t remember the details.

    10. And I’d like it back, please. i said brian could borrow it for a week to show his students, i just haven’t had the backbone to ask for it back yet.
