Facebook has $2,000,000,000 they can dedicate to that project. There are some personal secrets they haven’t yet mined.
Many rules, usually the remains, not preserved, are kept together and cremated.
Difference is the chicago employee was an unwilling participant, forced retirement. /jk
That was a brutal severence package.
An olive loaf is more intelligent than these socialist Congresscritters.

I’m very old and extremely healthy, take no prescription meds. My doc calls me a Super Ager.
I’ve decided to be an organ donor. Just think of the many lives I can save with my perfect kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, bone marrow, etc, older people who would otherwise die. AB negative blood, the universal donor.
Music for the hacking process? Not a bad idea. Frank Sinatra might do, or Leonard Cohen....
I think I would rather see the person cut into thin slices. I had to eat too much of crap like that when I was a kid.
