Cool. I saw that on TV but didn't know it was real. The trick that fascinates me was taking prints off a dead body. The eyelids in this case. Anyone know if that is real.

I understand that the sites on which a good print may be found would amaze your typical criminal. Not just eyelids but the eyes' surface if the person was already dead so no fresh tears obliterated the impression. That one blew me away.

Maryn, who's not going to touch your eyes, just in case

Thanks, Maryn. And the DNA off the pizza is just amazing too. My only qualm with relying too much on CSI is that it's so overused on TV that perhaps actual detective work seems more unique. I like to use the CSI sparingly, in a fresh way.
