The idea of a guy continually decomposing randomly and re-forming is pretty cool, but all of the stuff about the vocalizations doesn't do anything for me. It brings the rest of the article down, IMO.

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-1840.
The vocalizations made it better for me. When a corpse talks in an article it's usually: "Doom this! Doom that! Beware the tentacled horror that eats souls and poops demons!" This one just provides us with chitchat.
I can even see the researchers getting frustrated because they're waiting for some grand proclamation of an upcoming end-of-the-world scenario from this thing and all it wants to do is rehash last night's cockfight and drinking binge.
"Goddammit, he's talking about the price of sheep. AGAIN."
"I'm sorry, sir. Still nothing on possible XK-class scenarios."
"Well, keep monitoring that bastard. He's bound to lapse into doomsayer-mode soon."
That idea made me chuckle, so +1.
Edit: Also, the idea that we might have Maximum Security Morgues is horrifying.
This is pretty neat. Loved the notes on the end, though I'm struggling to find if there's any significance to the dates.

I thought this had a very creepy atmosphere to it, especially in the paragraph explaining how it was recovered.
following Foundation observation of unusual troop movements during a 1970 North Vietnamese Army offensive. Despite the presence of fresh-water springs and strategic positioning atop a ridge, combatants from both sides of the ongoing conflict avoided all contact with the village site
Structures in the immediate vicinity of the hut had been burned approximately two weeks prior to the arrival of the investigative team.
That kind of stuff creeps me out.
This feels like the kind of article I would have written.
Kalinin, are you me?
(account deleted)This has no talking non-human animals in it, so the only logical conclusion I can reach is that you're actually a furry version of me.
Simply doesn't blow my skirt up. Not sure if I'm in favor of keeping it around or not.
Abstaining for now. Maybe in a few weeks I'll get back 'round to it and decide how I feel.
Eh, it's pretty much a corpse what won't stay dead and says mysterious things. Not doing anything for me.
