Dead see? In 1903, Joseph Karwowski of New York patented a solid glass coffin, designed to preserve the dead and definitely. Andy Wilkinson of London has spent 14 years hand sewing a 40 foot long copy of the Bayeux tapestry!

@Radish, no because the FSM would be the Sunk Spaghetti Monster and He wouldnt be able to touch you with His Noodly Appendages.

Could it be acrylic, like one of those paperweights with the tarantulas in them?

The whole preserve the body thing is an odd concept. I like the new trend of green burials. I think that is the way to go.

@Tiger, Im actually Eastern Orthodox but I love Pastafarianism (and HP Lovecraft). @Ice, So while we want to be touched by the noodly appendages of the FSM, we want to avoid being touched by the not-so-noodly appendages of Cthulhu? Or is the FSM an incarnation of Hastur?
