I suppose you are one of those people who never bothers to find any
culture beyond the local Burger King. Well, Ken, I hate to shock you,
but there are many tribes which use the parts of their dead for... you
got it! Food and ornaments. They consider this due respect. Did you know
that some tribes discovered the blood of their dead made great
fertilizer? What better honor than to grant your tribe a good harvest
after your death?

Personally, if "Leg of Arndt" appears in my local deli, I'll pass it up
:-).
