Not Green Enough......

As an alternative to burial, cremation is no longer green enough,
say environmentalists, because it releases smoke and mercury, and
thus the industry is considering "promession," in which the body is
frozen in liquid nitrogen to minus-320 degrees (F) and then shaken
until it disintegrates into powder. For green burials, the U.S. has at
least six cemeteries that require biodegradable casings and for
bodies to be free of embalming chemicals. The Forever Fernwood
cemetery in Mill Valley, Calif., goes even further, according to an
October Los Angeles Times story, banning grave markers, but, said
the owner, "We issue the family a Google map with the GPS
coordinates" so they can find their loved one.

I guess a keg party around a bonfire for the wake is out of the question.

Why? You could use the -320 degree corpse to cool the keg! And instead of building a polluting fire, everybody could get naked and cuddle in the back of the Van.

Gee, I like the way you people think. You can do that and still shake the body to powder. From what I understand, 80% or more of the dust in the home is human DNA that we are all breathing in whether we like this or not.

Grind me up and use me for fertilizer...

After I'm dead, I DO NOT CARE what you do with what's left.

Death, Inc.

You may need a MySpace account to view this video (I couldn't find it on YouTube), but it's very worth watching!

We're afraid of death. But all of us have to face it at least once, and maybe more if someone we care about happens to die on us. But what are we so freaked out about? We'll show you that, yes, even with death, there's much to laugh about. As we know, the only thing to fear is fear itself... and having to sit across the desk from funeral director intent upon selling us an airtight, waterproof vault!

Wordy, you are so full of $hit, that you might be too "hot" for fertilizer! I just thought I would say it before someone else did!
