Abso-fucking-lutely. Maybe I'm deviant, but I love seeing mummies. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. There's a morbid curiousity to most people, I think. Were I to visit the area, his tomb may not be on the top of my list of things to see, but it would be up there.

I've linked it before, but what about this? One of the most popular attractions in the Czech Republic. Is it because it's rich in history? In part, yes, but there are much more historically interesting places there. Might it be because of all the dead people hanging from the walls and ceilings? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say yes.

People are fascinated with death, mostly because when you get right down to it, no one knows what happens when we die. I want to see Lenin's corpse. Not because its Lenin, but because its a corpse! Sick? Maybe. Perfectly normal? Probably. Wrong? Not in the least.
