Become a Tree

I literally haven't posted here in years... wow!  Oddly enough, it's not because I forgot of its existence, but I just haven't had the time to be dilligent about finiding new and interesting ways to die... but here's one from BigThink:

Clown Funeral

This is old news, very old news, but I found it while I was looking at something else and it's new news to me, so you get it anyway:

I did, however, find an awesome song about funerals:

Stride gum... lasts a ridiculously long time.

Really?
