1/27/2004: Coke coffin

[Undertoad]

It's Ghana, and these carpenters are proud of their work on this coffin and severe trademark violation.

It turns out that Ghana has developed a tradition of building wierd, wild, and wonderful coffins. For the last few decades they have done this, put a lot of work into building them. Sometimes bodies will wait in morgues while these coffins are built, which are individually worked to represent the individual's life.

To me, this is a little better than the American tradition of building big, heavy, ornate deals with chrome and finish and silk lining... sold for too much money, used for a few hours, and just buried away.

For my own purposes, this is all useless. Once I'm dead I truly do not give a rat's ass what happens with what's left. If my bod can be used for some good purpose, such as organ donation or scientific, then please use it; otherwise, please dispose of it as cheaply as possible in an environmentally-friendly way.
