Random Discovery #1

          
          Did you know that before crash test dummies were invented, they used deceased human bodies?  They strapped them on car seats with their faces covered (out of respect?) and crashed the cars they were in.  Afterwards measurements were made on the effects of the impact and the bodies were examined for signs of injuries.

          Wonder what they were called.  "Crash test cadavers"?
