No American has died of old age since 1951?! This made me come to thinking, is this just in America? Is the reason behind this everyone dies really of an ailment/accident and no natural death, or because since 50’s medicine have found out that there is ALWAYS a reason to death?

love your posts! hope it’s ok if i link you. want to be here again, honest!

Re: Buried alive

Current popular explanations for the origin of the phrase “graveyard shift” reference the 19th century problem of accidentally burying people who were still alive. To prevent this from happening, the story goes, caskets were equipped with a bell-ringing device enabling a waking “corpse” to notify the world that they were no longer dead. The graveyard attendants who remained vigilant throughout the day and night worked the graveyard shift.

That last one can’t be true, because there are more people alive today-around 6.6 billion, than number of people who have ever lived. That pretty much rules out reincarnation though doesn’t it? hehe

There is some truth to the statement at least. The Arabs of old both used the mummies for fuel (cooking etc) and it was used as curative for ailments and virility. Mumia or something of the like it was called. (yes that would still be cannibalism huh?
