For reasons that aren't quite clear I derive a weird and almost inappropriate pleasure from making a cake that looks like a decomposing log. Essentially, that's what a Buche de Noel is supposed to look like, complete with meringue 'mushrooms' poking out of the chocolate buttercream 'bark.

I'm scared by the enormous amount of bottled water being consumed today, instead of people drinking filtered tap water. Did you know that nearly 90 percent of those plastic bottles are not recycled and wind up in landfills where it takes thousands of years for the plastic to decompose?

As complicated and complex and as difficult as we are, the unity of Europe is a pre-condition for a better organized world, and if the European Union would fail or decompose, or other members left, the U.S. would have a more difficult role to play in the world.

Presumably what happened to Jesus was what happens to all of us when we die. We decompose. Accounts of Jesus's resurrection and ascension are about as well-documented as Jack and the Beanstalk.

Dead bodies do get a grayish blue/purple hue because blood pools in the capillaries and the body starts to decompose. It's not smurf blue, but it's not a pleasant shade.

A planar geometrical figure with more than three vertices can be decomposed into a set of triangles, and it can be reconstructed from a set of triangles.

All the body wants to do biologically is decompose. Once you die, it's, 'Let me out here! I'm ready to shoot my atoms back into the universe!

As far as plants are concerned, they can't tell whether that nitrate ion comes from artificial chemicals or from decomposed organic matter.

We are nauseated by the sight of trivial personalities decomposing in the eternity of print.

British Author

Used to describe how organisms or natural substances change over time.

Natural Processes

Emphasizes that the process happens gradually and can vary in speed.

Time Factor

Reflects the action of breaking complex things into simpler parts to solve them.

Problem Solving

Implies making something complicated easier to understand by separation.

Clarify Complexity

Specific to math, it involves breaking down numbers or functions.

Mathematical Analysis

Focuses on identifying the individual elements that make up a whole.

Understanding Components

In computing, indicates breaking down systems to simplify design or problem-solving.

System Simplification

Suggests that decomposition helps in the easy upkeep of systems.

Maintenance Ease

 studies how bodies decompose, and why. Their research helps law enforcement officers, forensic specialists, and scientists figure out when and how a person died. I don't know if you've ever tried digging holes, especially in Texas. It's a pretty difficult thing to do with all the limestone we have around here.

Welcome to the Body Farm...

 a number that increases by about .8% of the world's population each year. What happens to all of those people's bodies after they die and will the planet eventually run out of burial space? When a person's heart stops beating, the body passes through several stages before it begins decomposing.

 Helped along by the vines, trees provide the seeds, fruits and leaves to herbivores, such as the tapir and the agouti, which disperse their seeds throughout the forest so they can grow. Leftovers are consumed by the millions of insects that decompose and recycle nutrients to create rich soil.

 which struggle to feed their population. In the developed world, instead, after food leaves the farm, most food is wasted at the end of the supply chain by markets and consumers, and wasted food ends up in the landfill where it emits methane as it decomposes.

 all organic matter is reduced to microscopic mineral nutrients. The atomic bonds between these molecules are too strong to break down any further. So instead, these nutrients feed plant life, which grow more food that will eventually decompose.
