Roads into Limerick town closed amid fears of violence from feuding gangs ROADS into a Co Limerick town are being closed this week as part of massive garda operation to crack down on criminal gangs.

A rather draconian measure to close roads (not all of them) into a town over criminal violence.

A photo of a mummified hand with skin and nails still in tact. The hand is gently closed, and the skin is a dark brown. The specimen is in remarkable condition despite its age.

A photo of a mummified hand with skin and nails still in tact. The hand is gently closed, and the skin is a dark brown. The specimen is in remarkable condition despite its age.

The hand of Old Croghan Man, a 2000-year-old bog body that has been naturally mummified in a peat bog. The man's apparently manicured nails led to speculation that he was not someone who engaged in manual labour.
Based off the man's arm span, he stood approximately 6'6'' tall.
