[escepticos] Combustion espontanea

[MARCH@...>]

Un mensaje curioso de la lista forens-L.  Fijaos como el lujo se convierte
en un instrumento del crimen (¡Chanel nº 5¡). Como decia aquel, uno empieza
asesinando y termina no cediendo el asiendo a las viejecitas en el bus. Los
de Toulouse, despues de matar, se gastaron los ahorros en el combustible.

Saludos.

Jose March

Vuelo a pedir a los de Andalucia que se interesen por el caso de la
combustion espontanea de Palma del Rio. Seguro que nos estamos perdiendo
algo bueno
