Life Begins at 5 o'clock 7 Posted February 19, 2006 Mary Roach wrote a quirky little book about what people do with themselves when they died called "Stiff." It's light-hearted fare.I too would recommend "Stiff" it is a great little read. Also the "Fireside book of death " (Not sure who wrote it) is also a good book for anyone interested in ways of mummification and length of decomposition - This book was a particular favourite during my teenage years. I took about two days to mummify, but I've always been above average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,663 Posted February 19, 2006 Rock death trivia Marc Bolan told his girlfriend he didn't expect to live to thirty. The rock star once described himself in song as a 'gypsy explorer.' His fatal car crash occured between Rocks Lane and Gypsy Lane. two weeks before his thirtieth birthday. In the wreck of his car was a copy of the current edition of NME open at an interview with Pete Townsend. The headline on the article read; 'Hope I Die Before I Get Old.'

DevonDeathTrip 2,360 Posted February 20, 2006 I don't think they like English people there very much (especially drunken young Englishmen gloating over England beating Scotland at Euro '96) You mean the sad bastard football fans are still doing that? [can't find the emoticon for shaking my head in disbelief now that football has taken a further leap into perpetual shiteness/] Er no, I don't think they're still doing it, this was in 1996.
