Rowen, to my way of thinking, once I'm gone, whatever is done with my body is fine by me. If I'm fresh enough, they are most welcome to harvest any and all parts. If nothing is usable, they can either let the med students use me for practice, or send me to the Body Farm. However my remains can do the most good, that's what I want done. If they need to use me to heat the pool, then let's get to it!

By the way, when I die, I'm leaving money for a party...the drinks will be on me!

My father in law always said we should use his casket as the bar so we could have the last drink on him...

Yup, part me out, incinerate the rest, and find some pleasant oak grove to fertilize. The idea of a "Viking funeral" sounds neat but seems like a waste of a good boat...
When you die can you donate your body to pseudo-science?

Just so you know, the one thing that duct tape is not good for is ductwork. But it does have the unique ability to fix just about everything else... check this out: The Best Duct Tape Story Ever

  This one wins my big WTF? of the day.   I am truly dumbfounded that this ad even gotto the billboard in the first place.  The need to demand their money back from whatever moron thought this up. Then fire the morons who bought it.

Don't have a link, since I heard the story on the radio this morning, but...

Muammar al-Gaddafi, the leader of Libya, has apparently been saying that the uprisings in his country are caused by Al Quedda slipping hallucinogenic pills into the young people's coffee!

I think that right there is proof that the man is crazy.  Can't be the fact that people don't like him or what he's been doing.  That's WAY too far-fetched.  It's because everyone who's protesting has been drugged.

  What he's trying to get those poor buggers to believe is  'All will be forgiven if you just stop protesting, because you weren't in your right minds' .... Until he's back in power and the reprisals begin.   I could almost hear the collective snort of disbelief from here.  Gaddafi is on drugs to to think his people are stupid enough to take that bait.  They know he's on his way out and he's a liar many times over.  Karma's a bee-atch.
  Personally, I want to see the proof that is now being offered that he ordered the Pan Am flight 103 bombing. Then I want to see him tried and executed for the criminal he is.

This isn't a news story, but when I saw it, I really said, "Huh?"

I just went on Ebay & there is a used Moresca fairy bodice with a starting bid of $350.  The reason for the "Huh?"

You can buy it new from Moresca for $250.
