WTF, Egypt? W...T...F?!

Lighten up guys. A body’s temperature would only drop about 9 degrees in 6 hours. Anything after that would just be sick.

Me too.

Even the stories that don’t say it’s a fake are pretty thin on details. For example:

Huffington Post:

Reuters:

Daily Mail:

Lots of weasel words in all of that: “allegedly,” “alleged,” “apparently,” “was claimed.”

No-one has seen the text of the alleged law. No-one seems to have any actual sources. No-one can identify the actual politicians who are supporting this bill.

Let me know if it is real, so I can drop the obligatory “yeah, because necrophilia never happens in Western countries” thread-bomb.

Super! Now all I have to do is get me a wife and then move to Egypt and then find an assassin. Anyone know what the going rate is for assassins these days?

Please don’t think I’m an idiot for posting the story if it turns out to be fake (oh please, please be fake!). It’s just that I didn’t see it mentioned on the boards and I KNEW you guys would be all over it.

Necrophilia: Crack Open a Cold One!

You guys are being pretty hard on Egyptian men. They’re sensitive, you know.

Sometimes it’s just hard to let go.
What I’d like to know is whether they are proposing a limit on the number of times you pork the corpse in that six hours. You know, so they can make the most out of a bad situation.

Not in Egypt - limited to six hours after death. :smiley:

I think it’s fake. Either way, it’s still nasty.

Punchline to an old joke: “Dead? Mon Dieu, I didn’t know, I thought she was American!”

If that corpse is from the Rocky Mountains I ain’t touching that nasty stuff.

I ate a whole plate of Rocky Mountain corpse before someone told me it was testicles.

Not to mention a major weasel-out: “…the Daily Mail reports.” Reuters should have some sort of automatic editing software that tosses any story with those words in it.

Dear God, sir, you aren’t suggesting that Egyptian men drink Coors?

Beauty!
New subject:

I thought Muslims (and also Jews) have fairly strict laws about contact with dead bodies and impurity? I may be wrong of course.

It doesn’t count if you’re only touching it with your dick.

Hey, don’t bring dead presidential US presidents into this. Why do you hate America?

On the one hand, you got God, the saints, the Prophet and all the laws of decency. On the other hand, gettin’ some. And its guys making the decision.

That’s REALLY disgusting and horrible! :eek:

For up to six hours after their death:

Wife dies. Man may have sex with her at any time between TOD and TOD + 6 hrs. After time expires, man may never have sex with deceased again.

-or-

Wife dies. Man may carry on a normal sex life with deceased but mustn’t have intercourse for longer than 6 hrs.

Stand Your Ground ain’t got shit on this law re unintended consequences.
