Apparently RBG has been undergoing chemo since May, yet claims she can still do her job full steam. Press X to doubt. (www.foxnews.com) DRAIN THE SWAMP

I agree with George Carlin about preserving dead bodies, "What kind of Medieval, superstitious bullshit is this?", plow those bodies under for farming.

Duncan trussel talks about this in his new show, midnight gospel. Embalming came about during the civil war when they had to preserve the bodies long enough to be transported (by wagon) back to their home states so they could have a viewing and proper funeral. After the war, they had to convince people to still buy their services so they wouldn’t go out of business. But yeah. It’s not natural and pretty useless in today’s day and age.

Yeah, but "preserving" corpses in tombs and crypts goes back to the beginning of civilization, embalming is just incidental.

Right. But only for Kings. Not the common plebs.
