Maggots, Murder, and Men:
Memories and Reflections of a Forensic Entomologist
As Web Watch looks forward to Halloween, we reflect on our job choice and whether we could have done better at working in a creepier career.
Something that, when talking about “what you do” at a social gathering, makes people cringe, say “oooooh”, and want to hear more about the fascinating life you live.

Web Watch would never suggest that you ever evade the police by providing this information to our readers.
Think of this merely as an explanation of how all those criminals manage to escape getting into police custody in those high-action summer movies.
You, being a law-abiding citizen, would pull over immediately upon seeing the flashing blue lights in your rearview mirror, right? Right.

Web Watch is often asked about the best ways to relax.
Some people like to go to a spa, others like to go to the beach or pool and just lie there doing nothing.
Some watch TV, others read books.
And then there’s the group that like to relax by listening to music.

Today, Web Watch will keep it easy on our readers by offering a little game:
The longest daily commute to work that Web Watch has ever had to do regularly involved a car, two trains, and a 4-block walk. Surprisingly, under the best conditions, this 60+ mile one-way trek could be done door-to-door in an hour.
It wasn’t an hour trip very often.
And let’s face it – long commutes kind of suck. No wonder people often decide to move their living situation to be closer to work.

We’re all guilty of it, scanning the magazine stand while in line at the grocery checkout lane, when those alluring photos and attention-grabbing headlines do exactly what they’re intended to do.
We reach out and grab the latest issue of Cosmopolitan, Men’s Health, Maxim, or other gender-oriented magazine to start to find out what we’re doing wrong with our love life.
Here’s a story that Web Watch is 100% behind: did you know that it is illegal to put anything that isn’t mail into or taped to a residential mailbox?
That’s right — every stupid pizza delivery flyer, real estate agent’s magnet, tree service, maid service, and more — anything that isn’t sent through proper mail channels is considered illegal use of a mailbox and those companies can be subjected to being billed by the Post Office.

Web Watch has talked about insane bets in the past.
You’re already aware about the “you can’t drink a gallon of milk in an hour” bet, which is just old-school tired by now.
We’ve told you not to try the “you can’t take a tablespoon of cinnamon” bet, that could cause someone to choke and need an emergency room visit. Seriously, don’t do it.
We’ve even told you about the WENDY’S VALUE MEAL CHALLENGE, which is near impossible to comlete by the average fast-food lover.
