Long Story Short by Daniel Beyer for June 26, 2021

Well at least if you’re dead, it really doesn’t matter.

It seems obvious we weren’t designed to stand all the time.

The standing bar stool is kind of nice—just something to lean against.

I can’t stand this.

Is that “standing bed” designed for “one night stands”?

Butts and knees would disappear!!!!!

Standing coffin would be the easiest — most corpses are already stiff.

The gravity of these choices cannot be over-emphasized….

I guess he’s been dead more than 24 hrs. No rigor mortis.

No formaldehyde.

The Minbari, in Babylon 5, stood up while sleeping.

do you order the standing coffin for someone who’s dead on his feet…?

Didn’t I hear of someplace in south America where people were usually buried sitting with folded knees, in baskets? Or in big jars of some kind…

The first one is basically a “shooting stick” which was invented long ago.

Standing coffin? That’s thinking outside of the box.
