WTF – Eco Friendly Coffins!

Yeah….I was surprised that they exist too! Thanks for the tip Daniel!

We would just like to recommend this to John McCain, he is afterall, getting on a bit.

Ah sweet afterlife! We love eco-friendly death. There’s no excuses to not be green these days, even if you’re dead you can still minimize your impact. The Ecopod is a compressed recycled paper coffin designed by Hazel Selina. Hazel has been highly involved in natural birthing processes for much of her life and as the years toil past she has turned her focus to a pressing issue…death. The Ecopod along with the Acorn urn are made from 100% recycled paper and a natural earth based mineral hardener. They are completely biodegradable just like you (unless you’re pumped full of embalming fluids)! You can have your Ecopod silk screened with designs such as doves or a Celtic cross.

It just screams STAR TREK to me!

WTF – Boy On Fire!

I BLAME the parents!

(KSL News) A boy is being treated for burns following an incident in an Orem park.

Orem police say dispatchers received a call around 5 p.m. Monday. A group of boys aged 8 to 11 were playing at a park next to Geneva Elementary School near 300 North and 700 West in Orem.

The group had wrapped one of the boys in toilet paper. Police say he was a willing participant. The boys then strung toilet paper around parts of the park and lit a piece of it on fire.

Police say the fire got out of hand, and the boys tried to put it out by stomping their feet. The boy wrapped in toilet paper caught fire and suffered burns on 20 to 25 percent of his body.

He has second- and third-degree burns on his upper body, arms, neck and face. He was taken to Orem Community Hospital by his father and then flown to University of Utah Hospital.
