Because nothing makes a house nicer than being greased with human fat. Well you see - the medieval beheaders had great benefits.

And speaking of head chopper, the book also taught me the disgusting fact that beheaders (of the Rennaissance and Medieval variety) used to have an extra perk of their job. They could take the condemneds' fat home with them to make into potions or cook with or just grease the house. That is exactly how I imagine someone ends up as a head chopper.

I bet the lab manager didn't directly make the choice to be a dead head chopper. Like many of us, she likely had dreams of doing something interesting, and likely less vile than being a cadaver beheader. Also like many of us, one day she probably woke up and said to herself, "How the fuck did I end up in this goddamned job, chopping off the heads of dead people. Jesus Christ. I wonder if they have any openings at Wal Mart. No. No, there really ARE worse thing than being a lab manager who cuts off heads... Fuck.".

She envisioned her brain floating in a glass jar for all to admire. And since it was Harvard, she knew people would assume that her brain was somehow fantastic and brilliant. But then she saw the rubbermaid containers and the shine went off the dream. The author said she wanted to leave her brain to Harvard, just for egotistical reasons.

I suppose that pop-top is important for freshness, but big glass jars have so much more style and impact than a rubber salad bowl.

How was work today? Fantastic! Cut off 27 heads! Personal record. Could be up for a promotion soon! I wonder if it would get boring. Damn. Got to go cut off some more heads today. Every day, same thing. Wake up, chop off heads, come home. My life is so boring. Who does make that career choice?
