The Scientific Method: Orlando Stylee

WFTV has decided to tackle science in a way that would make those gingers on Mythbusters envious. As you may remember Cindy Anthony, defending the daughter she turned in to the cops, stated that the smell in Casey's car that she originally attributed to a dead body was actually a rotting pizza. This raised some eyebrows at WFTV and they conducted an experiment on the matter. They left a pizza in a car in the sun for seven days. I like how they chose a Domino's Meatzza Feast Pizza. Perhaps they figured the abundance of pepperoni, ham, sausage, and beef would be a good substitute for the flesh of a two year old child. After seven days they noticed no smell in the car donated by Channel 9 editor Joel Davis, but they realize that the pizza in the Anthony's car was twelve days old so they promise to "revisit the pizza again in five days." Brilliant! I'd like to think the word of the detectives on the case and the sniffings of the cadaver dogs were enough to prove that the smell wasn't an old pizza, but after the recent story of the ineptitude of Orlando's finest in solving crimes I'm glad WFTV took it upon themselves to conduct this experiment.
