It seems that a project to build a "cemetery pyramid" in Dessau has received a government grant and over 700 people have reserved a spot in the pyramid for their ashes to be placed in it.

I do not know what others think about this idea but I find it a little scatty.

It sounds like an absurd idea. The plan is to build a massive pyramid, filled with human remains, on a windswept field near the city of Dessau, eastern Germany. But the organisers of the project are adamant that this is not a PR stunt. There were pyramids in ancient Egypt, so why not in modern-day Germany, they argue.

Apparently Toblerone are sponsoring the construction.

Wonder how much it will cost to be right at the top.

What happens if The Mummy Returns Part IV takes place starring Angie Merkel?! :-)
