When I show people my DL (which is me bald...), I get asked if "it was a phase."

I can't figure out what "my DL" means from context.

Grave robbery was more common in the 19th Century than in modern times. Most grave robbers were doing it for money to supply cadavers for medical study. "The Resurrection Man" of Augusta, Georgia is a good example of this sort of grave-robbery. It is difficult to know how many corpses he stole from the local cemetery, but at least 400 disinterred corpses were discovered in the basement of the old college in 1989 which were later reinterred in a mass grave at the cemetery.
