    I'm pretty sure that if they'd ever plan to do this to my final resting place, I want to have part of the power go to running an LCD display on the front, so I can have it cycle through photos of my LEGO creations.

    I guess it kinda sucks for the people living there, but looking at the condition of the world right now, this is a great step forward.

    OK, so how will this effect the zombies ability to get out of the grave? Or are those just Vampires? Are zombies dead and buried or just life sucking brainless machines? Or are those co-workers.... I am confused....

    Makes sense on a few fronts. First, the tombs will last longer as the panels take all the weather. Second, it helps with more power.

    Seriously? The best tribute I can pay to my ancestors is to put a solar panel on their grave? Wouldn't a better tribute be to not defile their graves by bolting stuff to it?

    graveyards have always been a vain waste of space. Good to see someone had the foresight to correct this. Too bad the general public might not have the foresight to see this as a good thing.

    @taciturnforsale:


    This is why florida pisses me off.

    so much land wasted on;

    graveyards

    golf courses

    and amusement parks


    but for some reason they can't figure out where to build houses other then in disappearing wetlands.

    Why not dig em' up and use their bones as a cheap material to create the world's most macabre wind turbine?

    @Pope John Peeps II: Since I'm first on this train, I get to call dibs. I want my skull right in the center of the axel, so that it can revolve endlessly above my hometown, leering a comic death rictus while it provides electricity to cook toast to everybody.


    So who's going where? If you're last in the thread, you get placed on the fin tips. If the glue doesn't hold one day, you get sent flying for miles.
