What if it just goes into hibernation or something? Boil the shoes. Make shoe soup.
Boil them, mash them, stick them in another shoe.

This reminds me of something I read today...

According to most accounts, vultures are given the whole body. Then, when only the bones remain, these are broken up with mallets, ground with tsampa (barley flour with tea and yak butter, or milk), and given to the crows and hawks that have waited for the vultures to depart.

In several accounts, the flesh was stripped from the bones and given to vultures without further preparation; the bones then were broken up with sledgehammers, and usually mixed with tsampa before being given to the vultures. Many rogyapa first feed the bones and cartilage to the vultures, keeping the best flesh until last. After having had their fill of good quality meat, the birds usually fly away - leaving the bones and less favored bits.

In one account, the leading rogyapa cut off the limbs and hacked the body to pieces, handing each part to his assistants, who used rocks to pound the flesh and bones together to a pulp, which they mixed with tsampa before the vultures were summoned to eat.

Sometimes the internal organs were removed and processed separately, but they too were consumed by birds. The hair is removed from the head and may be simply thrown away; at Drigung, it seems, at least some hair is kept in a room of the monastery.

None of the eyewitness accounts specify which kind of knife is used in the jhator.

I think the weak point in the antievolution argument he puts forward is

Epic levels, if anything. How else could someone cast True Resurrection that often, including on himself?

Feign Death has a spell equivilant, too. I doubt that he needed to cast True Resurrection, a simple Raise Dead would have sufficed. Also, he probably had Miracle as an at-will power.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.
