Macabre but True

Postby Preston on May 21st, 2009, 7:21 pm

At first,I had intended to post this in the General section under my true-oddities thread but since this is a Macabre-type item, I decided to post here. It's a current true item from Allendale, S.C.

A 2004 burial in Allendale, S.C., is just now being investigated after relatives learned that the deceased, a 6-foot-7-inch man, was somehow laid to rest in a 6-foot-long coffin that was part of his prepaid plan.

How come it took five years to find that out? And I still wait for the outcome of this macabre oddity. :ol_nightmare:

This is another item I was going to, at first, post in the general section under True-oddities, but decided to post here because it's macabre. Macabre but true.

Fulcrum TV has placed ads, looking for a terminally ill person to volunteer to be mummified. I guess it's a scientific project, as the scientist wants to see if he can successfully duplicate the process done by the ancient Egyptians. The mummy would then be displayed in a museum.

Nothing wrong, I suppose, since it's strictly voluntary.

Macabre but true.

Huh, that's real odd. The body is not any shorter than it was before, right?

Perhaps they could use a recent cadaver? *shrug*
Also wanted to point out that some people have made requests for their bodies to be taxidermied and/or preserved after their deaths, so I am not entirely surprised that Fulcrum TV is asking people if they want to be mummified. (Interesting article about that here )
