Jack Nicholson Wouldn't Mind Being Eaten by Vultures

(Newser) – At 72, Jack Nicholson has been thinking about death, or, more particularly, burial arrangements. One option he finds appealing, he tells German TV, is a Native American practice that would leave his body to the vultures.

“I liked the nature of the Indians who haul their bodies up into the trees so that they are eaten by the birds,” the actor says of the “sky burial.”

But vultures aren’t the only idea. “Once I thought it would be nice to be buried under a large statue that is at least 10 meters (32 feet) high,” Nicholson adds.

But “I will probably end up in a crematorium as I’m too claustrophobic for a coffin.”

REDRUM!!!!!

I guess he’s old enough to be insane.

“I will probably end up in a crematorium as I’m too claustrophobic for a coffin.”

Hate to tell you, Jack, but they put you in a coffin before they put you in the crematorium.

I think he’s referring to Nepal, and not India.

[Doogle]

...if he really wanted that....just make a PRO American film without the liberal twist, and watch Hollywood.

The Tibetans used to do that until the Chinese outlawed the practice.

I believe the Jains used to do it as well.

Young Rudyard Kipling recounted that his mother was mighty upset one day when a sloppy vulture dropped a child’s hand in the backyard.

You’ll be way beyond claustrophobia Jack.

I suppose that if I was a vulture, I wouldn't mind eating Jack Nicholson.

Just think. That bigh white blotch on your newly detailed convertible could just be Jack in his final cameo. “I’ll just set my bourbon and advocaat down right there.”

[InvisibleChurch]

its all about him, isnt it?

[Interesting Times]

Looks like Jack has hired a new publicist.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Are vulture “droppings” lower than whale “droppings”?

You would be gagging in no time.

[dfwgator]

The vulture would probably croak from all of the Cocaine in Jack’s system.

[albie]

Why think of death at 72?! Does he have cancer? Aids? Alzhheimers?

[going hot]

It would leave a bad taste in the buzzard’s mouth. LOL

Hate to tell you, Jack, but they put you in a coffin before they put you in the crematorium.

Not if it's done properly

[fatnotlazy]

Nicholson has always been insane. Age has nothing to do with it. Good for him though. If we were all alike, we’d be boring.

Yes, but not as low as prehistoric frog turds.
