What is it about some Texan species that makes pectoral distension a phenomena? I have noted that in many specimens. Perhaps it is the dry air creates a reverse osmotic pressure. Or the high pollution of plastics has allowed an accumulation of silicone to certain areas. Apparently it is most noticeable near chicken ranches and may be due to contaminated agriculturual effluents. It is peculiar to one sex and perhaps deserves closer investigation. I may be able to get a grant to study the reason for Desert toads to have birth abnormalities and come down there to study the other at my liesure.

Back on the subject. It may be desirable in the case of suicide or would be suicides to use only domestic ammunition, larger calibre guns and to use a chart in order to find more vital areas to damage, obviating the necessity of repeated shots to get it right. Of course using a 22 is cheaper if one wants to save money and avoid waking the neighbours, thereby assuring that at least you bleed to death. Out of concern for your friends who may have been said not to have liked you, if they had actually bought the ammunition for you it also helps to use the untracable 22 kind that disintegrates when its hits bone. This makes their false prosecution for your death that much less likely.

I guess as long as Billy remains silent he will not be as depressed about his co-conspirators looking askance at him and be much less likely to commit suicide. And all along we thought it had something to do with Ukrainians from Chicago.
