New method of despatch

Post by sporran » Tue Jul 10, 2007 6:09 pm

Hello all,


from today's paper:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/w ... 051139.ece

I am attracted to this method of burial within a potato skin (but not willing to try it just yet). Will we have Spud-u-Like Promotoria?


Regards,

John

I've no objection, unless someone tries to freeze-dry me before my time! But then I have the same feelings about any other method of despatch :lol:

My kids have already been told what I think - once my last breath has left my body, I'm not there anymore! What they do with the vessel that carried me is their decision. I used to believe that cremation was the best method, but I'm not so sure about that now.

I've probably already polluted the planet enough throughout my life so anything that makes my final journey Eco-friendly is OK with me.

Hi John, I can´t see what good passing a magnet over the body dust will do - iron is seldom hanging around in bodies, and even if it were, it would do little damage to the environment as far as I know...... :wink:

Guid hunting,
