On my posting roll, Liv Dolphin Whiskers has a question that she'd love for anyone conversant about Chinese culture and/or communism and/or death rituals to opine on.

It's posted over at History Sideshow, and it has to do with the embalming and public display of Mao's corpse.

ETA: Expertise in the above subjects is by no means cumpulsory. Talking out of your ass is perfectly fine.

Legal question

So Porn has this "romantic" idea of when he dies that the boys and I get parts of him. Our oldest Jordan will get his skull, the younger Jagger will get his ribs and I have no idea what he wants me to have.... What are the legalities of that actually happening?

Re: Legal question

Huh. Graham wants me to wrap him in a shroud, pour oil on him, put him in a boat and then shoot flaming arrows at him. That's this week, anyways.

I don't see why he CAN'T do it, since he could just as well donate his body to a medical school. In Texas, at least, most of this is governed by the Anatomical Board and the Texas Funeral Service Commission.

If ya'll ever make it to Houston, remind me to introduce you to a friend of mine. Wayne makes paintings out of human cremains.
