And why shouldn’t the relatives be able to eat their own? Most of our relatives spend a great deal of time eating away at our time and sanity; it’s only fair that what goes around comes back around the campfire.

I, too, have heard about minghun and how it is still practiced in China.

Aside from the abhorrent practice of killing young girls so that there can be a bride, I find the whole idea that you must be married in order to enter the after-life truly bizarre.

Imagine trying to sell that idea to westerners whose divorce rate is something like 3 out of 4 marriages.

I do have to say that idea of cooking and eating my deceased relatives as the Wari did does not sound at all appealing. Imagine the dinner conversation: “Is this mum or dad?”
“Don’t know, but whoever it is, they are very fatty.”

Sorry, did I cross the line there?

I just am too damn tired these days to rail against the inherent unfairness of the inequity between the sexes.

I am impressed you had the knowledge to bring these things up when posed the question, and I am sure your answers were quite good Bruce.

Anybody wanna distract me with a strong drink and a dumb movie where some equally unintelligent actor shows his gluteus maximus off?
