Cool ways to dispose of your body when you die...

I was reading on the subject of things to do with a dead body (don't ask) and here's the highlights folks, enjoy!

1. You can actually have your body shot out of a cannon when you die.

2. Have your body frozen, and in the future when it's legal, have yourself cloned.

3. For $2,500 you can actually have your ashes sent to Sweden (a company called LifeGem) where they will compress and carbonize your ashes into a diamond. So if you hate someone, just have their ashes made into a diamond, and they will be forver trapped in a ring on your finger! HA!

4. You could go'old school' (seriously like 1800's old school) and prop your body up in the parlor for days while your family invites everyone over while you still smell ok, to pay their respects.

5. You can go 'green' and get a biodegradable casket made of bamboo, or an ecopod (basically recycled paper paper-macheed to your body.
Or if you techically want to be really really green, you can have your body disolved in lye and heated to about 300 degrees F, with 60lbs of pressure applied to each square inch, and in some time turns the body into a brown liquid which is completely sterile.

6. Another green one. You can have your remains mixed with concrete and there are professionals who will put it in the ocean as part of an artificial coral reef.

7. Also for $2,500, you can have your ashes shot into space, so that they burn up in the atmosphere and become part of the carbon cycle (rain, etc..).

and my fave

8. Some artist scientists figured out a way to make your tombstone a giant battery, connect it with your body, and then inject certain bacterii and microbes into your stomach when you die, and as your body decomposes, the bacteria eating it gives off energy, generating electricity, and in a way, becoming life after death. So freaking interesting.
