Bizarre Question of the Day

[ladybug_archive]

What are the freezer drawers like in a morgue's cold chamber? That is, if someone living ended up being in one, could they push their way out from the inside, or is it like being trapped in a refrigerator and it would be impossible for them to get out without help? I remember an episode of Mysterious Ways where a guy came back from the dead in the morgue and he was coming out of one of the freezer drawers, but I cannot remember if he opened it from the inside or if the pathologist had to open it. All I remember is him bumping around making noise, and the pathologist staring in shock and alarm a few minutes later when he started coming out of the open drawer.

Well, I don't know... but does this have to do with the epilogue of "Don't Go Out on Friday Night?"

If I had to guess, I think there might be some way to open them...

You know, in the book version of "Cigars of the Pharaoh," Tintin is buried alive in a ventilated grave, and the Thompsons save him. They cut that from the animated version, though.

Consider it a possible series of missing scenes. XD

Oooh. X3 There's a Nancy Drew book where she's locked in a coffin. It was really intense!

I think I know who you're going to be putting in the morgue... X3

I dunno, I did a few quick Google searches and one of them brought up a news article that said a normal person would die from the cold anyway, so I guess you could just handwave it? Or I'd definitely suggest taking it to little_details. ^^

**nodnod.** I was thinking about the cold problem, too, so I also wondered how long someone could stay alive in there due to that. As soon as he, er, is alive, he tries to get out. XD

I was thinking that if he can't get out from the inside, I'll just let his uncle open the door.... XD;

There is the true story of a guy in Russia who was hit by a car and died and was in the cold chamber for like three days. Most of that time he was alive, I think. o.o And somehow he survived.

*nod* I dunno if you saw anything like this, but there's also positive temperature and negative temperature, and since there's no issue with identification here I guess you wouldn't have to worry about negative temperature. If the body's completely frozen... he probably wouldn't survive that. XD

That works too! X3

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

**nodnod.** Yep, that's turned up a lot in my searches. XD I was definitely thinking it would have to be positive temperature. ^^

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

LOL. Ah, the things you need to know to write stories. XD

I have no idea what it's like on the inside, but I *think* there's some kind of latch/lock thing on the outside. I don't know if it's possible to get past that from the inside or not.

Maybe the How Stuff Works website would have an article on morgue freezers? XD;

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

**nodnod.** I'm trying to remember what they're like on the outside from all my time watching Diagnosis Murder, but nothing's coming to me. XD; I actually have the VCR in my room right now, so I should dig out some episodes. X3

LOL. Maybe! It's worth a try, anyway. **went browsing through everything in the Forensics category at Little Details.** Some interesting topics there, but nothing that really helps. I wish I could remember the name of the Russian guy who survived three days in a cold chamber. Not that it would help me know how to get out of one. XD;

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

**nods.** That might help! I think they also show a morgue in Men In Black, though I'm not sure if that helps any. XD

Maybe you could Google "Russian guy survives morgue"? XD

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

**now will probably get the song from MIB stuck in her head.** Someone once made a crack AMV of the Men In Black from Detective Conan with that song. XD

LOL! Maybe!

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

XD That sounds fun! Do you happen to have a link to it?

Hmmm.... I wonder if that song would fit Reno and Rude? Though I guess they wear blue instead of black. XD

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

I wish! YouTube got rid of it ages ago. ;__;

I've seen some AMVs of Reno and Rude with it, too. XD I believe I Favorited one or two. ^^

Technically, in AC I think they do wear black. XD Unless it's really dark navy blue.

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

Bleh. I hate when they do that! Especially if there's a really awesome video. ;__;

Could you send a link to one? ^^

Really? Huh. **will have to look more closely next time.** I don't really remember, but I know they wear blue in the game. XD

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's so annoying!

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Reno+Rude+Men+in+Black&search_type=&aq=f Here's all the ones that come up in a search. XD

... LOL. **not sure what to think of one person saying Reno and Rude are like the Batman and Robin of FF.** Since they're mostly played for comic relief in AC, I'm not sure that isn't an insult to Batman and Robin. XD;

**nods.** Yep. Actually, I think some purists started wailing and whining just because they wore black in AC. -.-;

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

Huh.... I'm not even sure how they'd be similar to Batman and Robin in the first place! XD; I mean, it's not as if they go around fighting crime at all. They're Turks - they do assassinations and whatever else Shinra wants them to do. XD If anyone would be like Batman and Robin, it would be more like.... I don't know, Angeal and Zack. XD Or the black chocobo rider. XD

Wow.... If they're upset just because they wore black, what about everyone else's outfits? They're completely different! Jeez. XD;

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Yeah, LOL. They cause crime. **snerk.** Yay Angeal and Zack! Or Seph and Zack. XD I should draw Seph as the black rider.

Yep. XD Rabid purists rarely make sense.

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you should! He'd be totally awesome as the black rider. ^^ I think I was gonna draw something like that, but I can't quite remember what.... I think it involved both Zack and Seph on chocobos, and Zack had some hat that flew off and he went chasing after it. LOL.

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

LOL. That would be amusing.

Seph as the black rider will probably end up looking like Zorro. LOL.

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

LOL @ the image of Seph with the mask and hat. XD Ooh, and he should totally have the cape and his hair blowing dramatically in the wind! ^^

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Yeah! And maybe the lariat he used in the fic. LOL.

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

That would be perfect! LOL. **and suddenly wonders how Seph ever learned to use it.** Maybe he was sleepwalking a lot more than he realized. XD Or he's just that awesome. ^^

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

**suddenly has an image of Seph falling asleep in front of a TV showing a Lone Ranger type show.** And then he somehow learned about using the lariat in his sleep, because of the show blaring in the background. LOLOLOL.

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

LOLOL! Oh gosh, that would be totally priceless! I love it. Maybe it was Zack's movie, and he ended up falling asleep while Zack wanted to marathon it or something. XD

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

LOL! Perfect! I can so see Zack wanting to marathon some series of movies or several episodes of a TV show.
