Mulch

The council workers were hard at it this morning in the park, but this time using an enormous and noisy wood chipper to dispose of unwanted trees. Every time I see them doing this, I'm reminded of the excellent Season 5 episode of CSI where Grissom asks someone how long it would take to push a human body through one of these. The answer: 15 seconds. Luckily, I don't recall if they then did one of their patented TMI graphics shots of a body going through the chipper -- messy!

Anyhow, I see the chipper, I remember the 15 seconds, and then I idly speculate on who I'd like to put through it. It's a great way of passing the time.
