Take heed,
young squintern. The bugs know best. Okay, I'll bite-- how? Well, I ran some threads
from our headless friend's uniform through
the Mass Spec. It turns out
that the dye came from cochineal beetles. They had to crush thousands of these guys in order to make enough dye for a single coat. That sounds pretty labor intensive. Yeah, it is, and therefore, expensive. Which means that this headless corpse was a high-ranking British officer. Why was this one buried under a
church in the middle of nowhere?
