Wish I'd discovered this in January though.


No way.  In January you had no real expectations, so the news of a refund would have been nice.  But once you expected to owe money, the news of a refund is WAY better!   ;D

No, because for the last 3 months I've had this nagging reminder in my head that I had to sit down and finish my taxes and cut a check to Uncle Sam.

The money will just go in savings and I won't have any fun with it anyway.   I'd rather not have been thinking about taxes for the last 3 months.

I haven't had a refund in many years. But I only am paying $750 this year, which is almost like a refund.
Old, but not obsolete.

On the other hand, if you take the extra time to freeze the bodies in liquid N2, they are much easier to dismember.  Less mess.

To do that one must first cut the bodies up. So liquid nitrogen is not as useful as it may seem. Simple freezing works well, as it limits the amount of blood shed, but after the parts are separated the use of LN could be used for storage.

I am forgetting that the primary use of a freezer is to store pizza rolls, but we all need to plan ahead....

Befriend a mortician if you need to dispose of bodies. I have a friend from college that became one. But if you don't know one, find a way to blackmail one. They can throw corpes under graves (just dig an extra 3 ft out, throw the body in, cover it to the normal hole depth) or if they have their own crematorium, that makes it really easy and even tougher to get caught.
You probably remember me from such films as `The Revenge of Abe Lincoln' and `The Wackiest Covered Wagon in the West'

If you plan to make a habit out of murder, I recommend taking up pottery.  Building a kiln in your backyard is a relatively easy and highly rewarding experience, and they can easily exceed 2000 degrees f.  That's more than adequate to incinerate bone.  If you've got an oil or gas fired kiln you can get it even hotter.

Additionally, combine it with a potter's wheel and your investment will support two great hobbies (killing people and making things).  Plus, think of the morbid satisfaction you'll get if you become talented and begin selling wares that have your victims' ashes baked into the glaze on your pieces.
