Place your bets - Mafia? Or a worker came to work drunk and feel into the concrete?

When big pours of concrete happened no one stops for a body falling in. I think there are around six people in the Boulder Dam

Very freaky way to make an exit. The good news is it's probably very quick, like a minute or less.

Erich: I mean, what do skulls make you think of? Death. Cannibals. Beheading. Erm... pirates...

Hans: (brightening) Pirates are fun!

Erich: I didn't say we weren't fun, but, fun or not, pirates are still the baddies. I just can't think of anything good about a skull!

Hans: What about pure Aryan skull shape?

Erich: Even that is more usually depicted with the skin still on!

I would suppose the goes for someone (careless or drunk) who falls into a vat of molten steel.

I worked in a steel mill for a while. It never happened at my mill. But it has happened.

"Apparent human skull found in concrete in Boston"

Really old news, innit? It's a solid foundation.

The workers were repairing concrete along the Black Falcon Terminal, a maritime facility managed by Massachusetts Port Authority, when they made the discovery, according to NBC10 Boston.

The Jacob-Esau signage is raining down today.

Who can keep up when the metaphors are literal? So simple.

By checking the place out on Street View, you can see the message when arriving at the pier:

"In like Flynn" is a slang phrase meaning "having quickly or easily achieved a goal or gained access as desired."

I was a dam-builder,
Across the rivers deep and wide;
Where steel and water did collide.
A place called "Boulder" on the wide Colorado,
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below.
They buried in that gray tomb that knows no sound,
But I am still around ...
