Many people seem to agree that Epstein didn't commit suicide. What happened then? Is it most likely that prison staff killed him or that he was visited by his killer? If some people are so powerful to do it, are they also powerful enough to control the aftermath investigation? Ericdec85 (talk) 05:09, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Kiel Canal
editDoes anybody know what the wooden articles on the opposite bank in this image are used for? They appear to be logs bolted together. The water in the Kiel Canal. Thank you in anticipation. Richard Avery (talk) 22:53, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
Edited to provide a heading. Great question BTW. Thanks. Anton 81.131.40.58 (talk) 10:38, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Not sure at all, but they may be part of disused dolphins. This picture in Der Spiegel shows a worker sawing up de-commissioned dolphins which had been infested and destabilised by Teredo navalis (naval shipworm). The wood pictured in Der Spiegel came out of the same body of water seen on Richard Avery's picture, the Kiel Canal. The Spiegel slide show is about marine invasive species; apparently this shipworm has adapted to less saline water during the past decades. ---Sluzzelin talk 10:41, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
