plague riddled corpses work better, although they might be hard to come by nowadays.

With RFK Jr in charge of the HHS? Give it a few months and there'll be plenty.

Launch me alive and I will either fall a corpse or live long enough to see myself start a fire.

While we are busy building some older contraptions used in times long past: perhaps might we add an additional favorite of the french revolutionaries?

That's called a market opportunity.
