Thank you, once again, to
www.fark.com for another weird story!
Apparently Jack Nicholson, who is already weird enough without this to add, wants to have a sky burial when he dies! (Yes, he's still alive, thank you very much!)
Here's the story from Fark:
Jack Nicholson is considering being picked to death by vultures when he dies.
The 72-year-old actor has become fascinated with the traditional sky burials carried out by some Native Americans which involve the deceased's body being hung from a tree or wooden scaffold and being left for scavengers.
He told German TV channel Tele 5: "I've had several ideas. Once I thought it would be nice to be buried under a large statue that is at least ten metres high. Then I liked the nature of the Indians who haul their bodies up into the trees so that they are eaten by the birds."
Although Nicholson is undecided about the fate of his remains, one thing he is certain about is he does not want to be laid to rest in a coffin.
He said: "I will probably end up in a crematorium as I'm too claustrophobic for a coffin."
Even though he's been thinking about his funeral, Nicholson insists he isn't scared of death and feels as though he has achieved everything he wanted to in his life.Post edited by: judi, at: 2010/02/09 18:17
