Freddie's Zoroastrianism and a couple of Questions.

I was reading up about Zoroastrianism and it mentions that 'the dead are not buried or cremated, but left for vultures to eat in special temples for that purpose'. Now I'm pretty sure that it has been mentioned that Freddie had a full Zoroastrian funeral yet got cremated? Does this mean it wasn't proper?

Yeah, no good. No good I am.

I think in Fred's case they did follow Zoroastrian doctrine correctly and allow the vultures to eat him.

However, in order to fulfil Fred's wishes to be cremated they compromised and burned the vultures after they'd consumed Fred.

Or they could have fed him to the vultures and *told* everyone he was cremated (as some people might have a problem with the vulture thing)

Or maybe they felt it would be cruel to the vultures, and decided to cremate him. Maybe the priest liked the vultures, after all.

Or maybe they did they full traditional thing, and let the vultures pick the skin off his bones and Brian May came and stole his skull for a souvenir before the rest of the bones were ground up and his little monkey Roger helped.

Okay, yeah, too much time on my hands. J/K, all.

Or am I....

You may think it hard to find Vultures in London but there's a pet shop down just outside Angel on the Northern Line that does them. The plot thickens.

I've had a vulture hanging around outside my house for several days. He just sat there on the telephone pole, looking around. Finally I figured it out... he just wanted to make a long-distance caw.

LOL

LOL Itchy Drooler... that was cornier than corn on the cob. [THAT was bad.]

LOL. That was a corny pun :P

...hey, I've got an ear for corny jokes.

That was a veritable cornucopia of dreadful puns.

"Does this mean it wasn't proper?"

Yeah it wasn't proper, Therefor he will burn in hell for evermore

Certainly a load off my mind now.

Now I don't want to appear husky but these corn jokes must stop.

Im laughing so hard now... strange for me so early in the corning *i'll get my coat*

Wow BMW..that was callus.
