    The Gambino family has a similar program.

    Allegedly.

    Where cushions are comfy, and straps hold firm.
    There is a company that will smelt your ashes into bullets.
    IDK why, but if you happen to be a vengeful person, then I
    suppose that it would be a great use of your spiritual essence :)

    IDK if they offer options or not, but at least you can be put in
    regular slugs, but I suppose if you ask they wouldn't mind
    whipping you into a batch of hollow points. I think you can also
    choose the caliber you are made into as well. o_O

    When my mom died she was cremated. She had told my sister and I she wanted her ashes scattered in her yard and garden. My sister refused to help, so I did it myself, and immediately afterward my sister told me what I had just done was illegal. :nosleep:

    You say it's not true based on a single observation over a science journal? Maybe that cat tasted something else. There's lots of chemicals cats can taste that we can't. That's why the 'flavours' on dry cat food are bogus and just there for the human buyer. The real 'taste' they go after in dry cat food is an engineered chemical.

    Bears don’t poop during hibernation.
    You might wonder, “How do animals keep in their poop when they hibernate?” Before an animal goes into hibernation, they will eat a lot to sustain them until they wake. So, where does all the food go? Bears keep their food in by eating grass and twigs, creating a plug or stopper in their bowels. With this stopper, they can sleep continuously without having to poop. However, once they wake up, it all comes out.

    :bigconfused:

    Huh, you can get the same effect by eating a healthy salad followed up a few hours later with a bottle of tequila and a bucket of fried cheese.

    Since this thread has reached that stage: baby kangaroos poop and wee where they spend all of their time, i.e. their mothers' pouches. And I thought that changing nappies was bad.

    In 1908, a random homeless guy in Nevada ate library glue and died.

    His tomb stone literally says "died eating library paste"

    Ninety-five percent of US dental hygienists are women.
