Saw that you "friended" me. Your LJ looks very interesting. I'll read more once I nail some delinquent deadlines.
This particular thread of yours is tough on me. My brother Mike died a month ago. They found him in his bath tub. He had just turned 37. Life can be whak, sometimes.
Anyhow, don't mean to be a bummer. I look fwd to your stuff.
Dear Man-Size, how strange the coincidence, my brother deceased 5 years ago but it feels like 1 month or yesterday bc i dealt w/ it by falling into seizure - out of my mind. (i'd read your thread on fauxmaux's & thought about the connection.) the Bathtub in this piece/Work is a metaphor for the drowning into postmortem/post-modem after-life, yet i also see the washing/bathing as a baptismal cleansing...
I fear 5-years from now my brother's death will still feel a month old. I'm sorry for your loss and seizure.
I'm not offended by your bathtub metaphor. I get it. It's just a tough image to behold right now. As is the bathtub suicide scene in THE RULES OF ATTRACTION, brilliantly adapted into cinema by Roger Avary.

(i meant the ENTIRE weblog which includes ALL the entries & the user page) but o, OK if you're serious the parameters for reprint is that it accompanies the 1st entry about the Post-Modem circuitry spilling Laruoccan cyber infiltration... & this entire entry which includes 2 photos, (exclude the comments) plus the user page - which references the hard-copy literature (w/ links to the books).

As a general rule, yes. A cadaver in the water starts to sink as soon as the air in its lungs is replaced with water. Once submerged, the body stays underwater until the bacteria in the gut and chest cavity produce enough gas-methane, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide-to float it to the surface like a balloon. (The buildup of methane, hydrogen sulfide, and other gases can take days or weeks, depending on a number of factors.) At first, not all parts of the body inflate the same amount: The torso, which contains the most bacteria, bloats more than the head and limbs. The most buoyant body parts rise first, leaving the head and limbs to drag behind the chest and abdomen. Since arms, legs, and the head can only drape forward from the body, corpses tend to rotate such that the torso floats facedown, with arms and legs hanging beneath it
