RogerJ Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I bet there is a lot of bubbling, hissing and poping involved with that much body fat. Â There might also be a dismemberment surcharge if they need to cremate the body in multiple parts due to the capacity of the creamatorium. Â Or perhaps body fat is highly flamable and they need extra fire insurance in cases where things could get wildly out of control. Â Mostly I just don't want to think about this anymore.

archenemy Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Facinating. Especially the dismemberment job. I mean, what is the job title for that? Sorry, but horror is my favorite genre--especially when its real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-spotter Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 the gasoline flavour makes marshmallows much less appealing. Â you'd eat sless instead of smore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerJ Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Forty-five minutes to an hour is generally sufficient to consume a body, though obese corpses may take 90 minutes or more. Once the ashes cool, they're crushed by a machine into three to four pounds of coarse white powder (more for big folks). Â So all this legal fuss was over 30-45 minutes of torching or a couple of extra ounces of ash? Â But what happens if you have a knee replacement or steel plate in your skull? Do they keep it as a tip? 1600f won't melt it. Â -r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recycled Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 In response to Arch's question: the technical term is flensing, or carcass stripping if you prefer. Â Little know fact: cremation is reponsible for a big chunk of airborne mercury emissions in western Washinton. My wife and I have a deal to make sure our fillings are pulled before we're toasted. Of course, that's probably more than everyone needs to know. Â That is all. Carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squid Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 interesting thought. So what's the socially responsible way to go?  1. harvest all usable organs for transplant/research 2. remove all heavy metals for recycling 3. flense the flesh into vat of biodiesel 4. crumble the bones into the garden to make the veggies grow  Or...have your buddies trundle your corpse off into the woods to feed the worms?

Recycled Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Well, I'm a solid waste consultant. I mostly deal with regular garbage, recycling and composting, but sometimes drift into more interesting territory like sewage sludge, fish/poultry morts and such.

Recycled Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Just strip the metals and grind everything else up for animal feed or soil amendment. Â Only the real lardasses would be worth converting to biodiesel. Come to think of it, the last batch of recycled biodiesel I put in my car smelled a bit funky. I better do some checking.
