Ah! I have just found what has to be my favorite badly written sentence EVAR. I read this in the weekly magazine Science News several years ago, and finally remembered it when I was able to do a quick search in a database to pull up the text. It's a short news blurb about researchers experimenting with ultrasound to monitor patients with head injuries. The howler shows up in the next-to-last sentence, talking about the testing methods the researchers used:

So far, the researchers have tested the method on a fake head--a skull filled with gelatin, cadavers, and several healthy volunteers

All I can say is: God bless 'em!

Those are some damn small volunteers.

I have this image of an enormous skull filled with a sort of macabre Jell-O.

That's what I thought, too.

Macabre jello salad. You know, with cadavers set right into it along with the carrot sticks and miniature marshmallows. And Coke (http://www.nikibone.com/recipe/jello/cherrycokejellosalad.html), obviously. Can't be properly macabre without Coca-cola.

Yum!!!!

Have you ever gotten your hands on a copy of "Eats, Shoots and Leaves?"

My mom has it and promises to lend it to me next time I see her. :)

Bwahaha!

Poor volunteers, they won't stay healthy for long in that environment.

Hopefully they received good compensation for that, but I'm afraid they were probably just students required to participate in experiments for their class. XD

Ah, the harsh life of a student.

Eew, cadavers.

CADAVER/VOLUNTEER JELL-O!!
