SteveThaiBinh Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I'm listening to BBC World Service right now, and there was a report of a different company offering the same service (product?) in Mexico. Apparently, they think it will sell well because of the big cult of the dead there. Alas, it takes 12 weeks, plus it must be hell to get it through customs.

tarna Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 Quality control is a little lacking in Mexico. You'd probably be getting a week's worth of kitchen slop and all the local road-kill instead of Aunt Frump . Remember recently here in the US where some goon running a crematorium was actually dumping the bodies into the nearby lake? Ruminations...

Pope Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 So, in the finished LifeGem (DeathGem?), what proportion of the matter would be from the cremated ashes? Moreover, I think that most of the ashes you get back are from the coffin rather than the body. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nowadays, I think that the body is 'decanted' in a still before cremated. I'm not sure I want to know what is done with the body's water content afterwards. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LifeChampagne! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musopticon? Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 So grim kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai.

tarna Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 seriously - this is a joke right? ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I had heard this on the radio last year. Apparently they're serious. Thought it was pretty strange so I posted it here for you guys to laugh about. LifeChampagne! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now that's waayyy to gruesome! Although there was some Italian official last year that had the 'leftovers' from his liposuction made into a bar of soap and sold it on eBay for quite a bit. I guess there's a market for anything.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Human fat makes the best soap. It depends on how you view humans. If you view them as just another animal then using soap made from people is no different than using soap made from any other animal is it. I have to agree with Volourn.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Do you often think about where the soap comes from ?
