Cremation Bad For The Planet

There is something inefficient or inconsistent here:

The remains are buried on the seabed. Presumably at this point an excavation is performed.

The diver now surfaces to give some of the excavated seafloor to the next of kin.

Now the diver goes back down and must disinter the remains in order to take a photograph of them on the sea floor.

Then a false certificate is prepared for the next of kin. Obviously false, there is no mention of reburial so the remains must have been left exposed on the sea floor after the photograph.

I am glad these people are not in control of sequencing operations in my company.

This is west-coast--Leno's collection is in Burbank....right next door to Toluca Lake, where the Bob's is located. It's known as Shoney's in the south, forgot the other name it goes under in other parts of the country.

I did take his car-styled logo that he came up with in 1934, stick into MasterCrash, turn it into Nurbs, and engrave it into a key chain that I gold plated for him.

At 86, he's driving a 365hp crate-motored '66 El Camino. Don't think I'll have to worry about an urn...I think he might already be self-contained.... And that's just the way he likes it!

Keith Richards was recently asked by a popular music publication what was the weirdest thing he had ever snorted... apparently he snorted his dad's ashes with some blow, whatever blow is *coughs*

Now that's weird.

ps: as you can probably tell, my machine is totaly setup and only requires a pressing of the big green button every 10 mins, so I'm bored... so I searched some more for what to do with dead people since my oil press has not attracted any governmental grants as yet.

My favourite is the one that says you freeze the body to about minus 18 deg C then imerse it in liquid nitrogen- it (obviously) becomes very brittle and can be smashed into little bits with vibration. The little bits are then passed through a mesh to remove any spare surgical parts and stuck in a vacuum chamber to remove water and sterilised at the same time, they are then buried in a shallow grave with a tree on top...

Their justification of this? it stops emmisions by cremation... now consider how much emissions were used to generate the power to cool the body to -18 deg C, to produce the liquid nitrogen, to vibrate and seperate the remains, to generate the vacuum and extract the water etc etc lmao they are nutters.

Here's the link that one above is about half way down).

Other ideas they have is to put the ashes in a snow spehre thingy so you can shake it every now and again, make wine glasses and/ or glazing with ashes, mix the ashes with concrete and create artificial coral reefs, stick them in shotgun shells or fireworks lol it really is quite amusing
