One “Bones” episode coming up.
I used to like that show until it jumped the shark by letting her and Booth do it...

In a "eureka" moment worthy of Dr. Frankenstein, scientists have discovered that two 3,000-year-old Scottish "bog bodies" are actually made from the remains of six people.
According to new isotopic dating and DNA experiments, the mummies—a male and a female—were assembled from various body parts, although the purpose of the gruesome composites is likely lost to history. 
More like Frank N. Furter.

I realize that they probably didn’t have a written history at the time, and everything was probably oral tradition, but is the 11th century really “prehistoric”? I hear “prehistoric”, I think the Flintstones. Well, not quite, but you know what I mean.

From another link about bog mummies, they found one of them used "hair gel". I think he looks like Donald Trump.

A bog, huh?
Sounds like this guy.
