Second place! Booyah! 9 #1s! Booyah[sup]2[/sup]!
Rebo, are you sure I don’t have 5 extra points somewhere? Just 5 measly little points so I can gloat?
Pretty please with sugar on top?
How did I get so many duds, and yet still manage to place #29?
Ah, well, at least I got Arlington and the Taj Mahal.
Burial at sea isn’t burial? It’s right in the name!!
And Koala bears are not bears, nor Prickly Pears pears. Bearcats are neither. Names are often inaccurate.
Chucking someone in the water doesn’t involve digging a hole, sticking them in it, then piling dirt on top of them, therefor it’s not burial. Just like ‘koala bear’, ‘burial at sea’ is an inaccurate name which gives the correct general idea of what it’s like. Koala bears LOOK like bears, and burial at sea is a way of disposing of a corpse, just like true burial. But it’s a distinct thing, that isn’t, actually, burial, just like Koalas aren’t actually bears.
Nearly bottom of my own feud. Oh dear, and I can’t blame it all on changing from Jackie Kennedy can I?
I’m glad I didn’t go with my first thought, which was Lincoln’s tomb.
Poor Wormey. I feel sorry when he got a goth pool which leads right into his interests. Yet I crushed him again. Worm you just got your horn honked. sososososo sad
On the other hand, a funeral pyre is cremation.
Yeah, I was going to say suttee. Then I read the rules again.
In India they used to burn the wife alive. Tough laws. But is it cremation as such or a smoky offering to the gods. The spirit flies up with the smoke to heaven.
Man, if only Burial at Sea and Sending the Body out to Sea were combined, I would have had a perfect score… =/
