Description
xEverything you always wanted to know about life when you're six feet under. Let's face it, death is one of the most important events in life--and it never hurts to be prepared. Herein you'll explore such provocative questions as: Is there life after death? Is the Hereafter sexist? And most important: How do you know you're dead? This eye-opening collection of amusing tidbits, historical facts, and macabre curiosities probes the mysterious state that has stymied scholars and spiritualists since the beginning of time. Did you know... * An Australian woman had her husband's ashes inserted in her breast implants, to keep him close
to her heart (see page 118) * Heavy drinking combined with excess body fat can result in Spontaneous Human Combustion (see page 191) * Statistically, you're more likely to be killed by walking (660-1) than by lightning (55,000-1)
(see page 193) PLUS Sex and Death * Graves of the Rich and Famous * Body Snatching and Grave Robbing * Ghosts, Ghouls, and the Undead * And Much More
