Reinstating for nevdull.

Today I got a mail from Keith Bostic's nevdull list, containing the usual assortment of random interesting links accompanied by enigmatic taglines. One of them was this:
  http://tobozalukba.blogspot.com/
The girl in the middle is not alive.
Whoa. Huh?

Well, when I went to tobozalukba.blogspot.com, the blog was no longer there. In fact, the entire blog name was up for grabs. Nevdull has a lot of readers, so in the interests of sparing them the same Google search I just did, here's the image (I think) that that entry was referring to:
  www.petroliaheritage.com/zpostmort.JPG
There's more explanation here:

It's spooky, but then many things that seem spooky to us now might be a lot less spooky in the context of 19th century childhood mortality rates. May she rest in peace.

If you have any questions, for goodness' sake don't ask me.
