Reply to A database of paper airplanes with easy to follow folding instructions by widowild

Semi-related but that website reminded me of a childhood memory I haven't thought of in ages...

Does anyone remember from the 90s these pre-cut styrofoam planes -- usually of WWII era fighter planes -- that you assembled yourself? It was super simple... there were only about 3 or 4 pieces that you attached at the pre-cut notches, and they came in packaging similar to the size and shape of a Hershey's Bar. I remember I used to buy them from the icecream truck as a kid.

Edit: I just did a quick search after this post and it came right up! nostalgic "paper planes" from the past

You may be 32 yrs old with bones of an 80 yr old, but you’ve made more of a direct and significant contribution to society than most of us reading your post, myself included.

May good karma find its way to you in abundance 👍🏼

There are ways forensic anthropologists and osteologists can determine cause of death by studying other details of the skeleton. Even old ancient ones.

ie. If there’s an injury on the skull and also damaged bones in the arms and hands, one can determine that the person was assaulted and died. If there’s an injury on the skull and fractured spine but no signs of struggle it’s possible the person died falling off a horse. These are overly simplified examples — the experts can take a million things into account just by studying the bones and come to solid conclusions with evidence to back it up.
