The ultimate in being environmentally sensitive...

Just a couple of days ago I watched a show about acids, I think on the History channel. It showed dumping tons of bone chips into acid in the process of making gelatin. So that was fresh in my mind. MikeK

The comments in Futurama were in reference to the movie, that I have no memory of, but probably should, I graduated high school that year. And as far as Futurama, I have noticed the show when my 16 yr old son is watching. And Leela, she's the sexy one with one eye!

I love the bit about "Magnets remove the metal bits", like fillings, etc. Since when were fillings and other prostheses magnetic ?

Never mind the energy cost of things like liquid nitrogen.

Actually, I don't dislike the second option. It seems less energy-hungry and yelds more or less the same results as a zinc coffin.

After all, cremation was invented in places where the soil was too frozen to be dug or the weather too hot for digging.

Once you're dead, you should try to incommodate the livings at least as possible.

But, before that.... :D

During his latest MR my cousin was torn apart. :D

Right.

Why waste the bone, let's using them for gelatin. MikeK

Except the Socialists. They are turned into Soylent Red. ;-)

For the last time: I am not a mad scientist, I'm just a very ticked off scientist!!!

That explains the demand for Soylent Green.

I had read about it, in the wiki rightup it says this. "The show, (Futurama) created by Matt Groening, depicts billboards that advertise a variety of "soylent" foods, including "soylent cola" (the taste of which, according to Leela, "varies from person to person")" LOL MikeK

Oh my, cultural dissonance.

I never watched Futurama. I was referring to the 1973 movie of the name (and product).

Just like 'green' cars, the costs to the environment far exceed traditional techniques.

As to magnets picking up fillings, neat trick since they are non-magnetic: shows just how well thought out this bit of swill really is!

Yep. I noticed that, too. My artificial hip joint is not magnetic either. ...Jim Thompson

I had the same thought . Great minds (of a similar age) think alike Oppie

Cultural consonance.

It's hard to imagine any 1970s movie goer (or 'old' movie fan) not making the connection.

Soylent Green iiiiissss PEEeeoplllle!!!

I liked Planet of the Apes better, though.

Take your hands OFF me you damn dirty ape.

I'm gonna write into my will, "When I'm dead, donate any viable organs, then give the rest to some medical school for their training classes."

In fact, I have a brother who's on dialysis; I'd give him a kidney, if there were some way to get paid for it.

If they laid the corpse out on the frozen tundra somewhere, wouldn't it eventually freeze just as solid?

Thanks, Rich

Melt down the tallow, and use it for biofuel, then grind up the rest for animal feed or plant fertilizer.

Or, just bury the corpse under a tree somewhere, much like the American Indians did with fish guts. ;-)

Cheers! Rich

Nah. Long Pig, or Andes Boar:
