We’re they corpse-men, corpse-women, or corpse-people?
Was a movie along time ago, “Coma”
Yech!! Glad I’m opting for cremation. If I’m destined to leave a mess, better to get it over with quickly.
When I first read this story some hours ago, my first thought was of properly buried bodies. Imagine my relief in learning these were corpses left out on “body farms” for research. Movement after death in those circumstances would be natural given the weathers affect on uncovered bodies.
Scientist are now beginning to think you are still alive hours after you are clinically dead.
When they cut up organ donors the bodies are strapped down and given anesthetic because the body twitches and struggles. 100% true.
It would suck to find out you could feel the scappal and saw hours after you died.
IOW, the bodies don’t move but rather bacteria and various critters move it around.
Yeah I think they remade it too.
Random bloke: So Alyson, what do you do for a living?
Alyson: I film decomposing bodies and then study the findings
Random bloke: Excuse me while I go to the loo
Many funeral home workers opt for cremation rather than “properly buried”. Even bodies in hermetically sealed coffins turn to goo.
Well, if you'd like to know more, I highly recommend that you check out the funniest, most charming female mortician here:
Ask a Mortician (videos on all subjects relating to death)
I love her sense of humor and helpful expertise.
They found arms had moved. They found legs had moved. They even found one body had swapped places with another. It was all a mystery until Bobby the Intern confessed.
“Once when some Israelites were burying a man, they spied a band of these raiders. So they hastily threw the corpse into the tomb of Elisha and fled. But as soon as the body touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man revived and jumped to his feet!”

I’ve told this story before. When my father in law died, he had pre-arranged everything. Including his casket. Made things easy for us.
But the funeral home director wanted to upsell. No problem. That’s what they should do. Try and sell a more expensive casket. We just said “No thanks.” But he went on...
“You should really consider this better casket. It has a Lifetime Guarantee!”
I just smiled and said; “WHOSE LIFETIME?? As you see here, Mr. (Redacted) is dead. He HAS no lifetime. Do you mean MY lifetime? Do you think I’m ever gonna wanna find out in say 10-20 years if the casket is still in one piece? That I’m gonna dig him up and check on things?”
My wife was glaring at me at this point. I got in another dig and dropped it.
I believe in putting the fun in funerals.
There’s an old movie, titled Motel Hell, that your comment reminded me of. They captured humans, cut their tongues out, buried them up to their necks in a garden, fed them a special diet and harvested them and added the meat as an ingredient in a food product. Kind of like what the Democrats desire to implement to combat climate change.
Are we living in a demented time, or what? But, then again, there’s nothing new under the sun.
“Scientist are now”
Climate scientists?
Once the brain is deprived of oxygen, you’re out. So say absolute max of two minutes for any form of consciousness.
But many electrical signals originate from the spine, not the brain. These are reflexes. They respond to not so gently prodding like bone saws and scalpels or that little rubber hammer the doctor taps your knee with in order to check your spine.
Anesthesia can suppress reflexes though.
I’m on the fence. I have titanium innards that I expect would be sold for scrap profit after cremation. A local funeral parlor assured me, after laughing at my concern, that if I so stipulated, my actual remains would be returned to a family member of my choice. My phone call with an amused urn saleswoman didn’t mollify me.
