"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."

signewtre: "Not on the frozen tundra, Hawaiian islands, of middle of Africa"
I've got it on good report that the advantages of 'frozen tundra' an leaving granny on the ice flow for hungry wolves was a reality;
and the middle of Africa discovered the real meaning of 'bush meat' long before the Boers came to stay.
You're on your own to supply the Hawaiian historical solution.

KrazeehorseI really don't care for the traditional funeral process. For some maybe it gives closure. For me it just extends the mourning. So I have donated my remains to a medical school in Ohio. One of my decedents will have to pay for my ride to the school. Then they cremate my body when they are done (may be up to 2 years) and return or inter my remains at my family"s discretion.

I think I heard that term used when they found Jimmy “Worms” in the trunk of a car at the airport.

egregoreOne of my uncles used to say, "Just shove a ham bone up my ass and let the coyotes and ravens drag me away."

Eskimos once set their dead adrift on ice floes, sometimes even before they were actually dead (but nearing death).
