Who knows, maybe someone who rebelled against the radical hippies in Berkeley in the late 60's.

Also, why is this residence hall "unused" with the chronic homelessness in the Bay area.

[Red Badger]

Apparently it was used........................

The building is a residential hall complex and event space that sits roughly a mile from the main campus and has not been occupied for many years.

Police said there are no outstanding cases of missing persons from the Berkeley campus community.

University students received a campus alert on Friday, KTVU reported.

An unidentified man who was working in the area when the skeleton was discovered told the outlet that it didn’t surprise him that much.

“There’s a lot of homeless activity here, so it was an abandoned building, so figured probably something like that happened,” he said.

Police said there are no outstanding cases of missing persons from the Berkeley campus community.

There might be a few mediocre cases, though.

Probably from back in the last recession, when the college could only afford a skeleton crew.

This is a stupid question, but don't real human skeletons decay after time?

Do medical schools put some type of preservative in them?

I’d like to jump her bones.

“The Wire” comes to mind.

Looks like they have the 2024 candidate to replace Biden.
It will be nice to see a candidate with better verbal skills.

probably the body of the last conservative at Bersekly.

No, Jimmy Hoffa, is under the Giants Stadium in Jersey.

Not an expert, but I’ve heard the very simple method is to wash bones with mild soap and water, then let soak for days, if possible. Some will use Hydrogen Peroxide, but not that 3% solution you find at the dollar store. There are several stronger concentrations. Place in a flat tub, fill with Hydro/Perox, fill and cover for a day or more.
Don’t use bleach, as that will break the bone structure down.
