If Beethoven were alive today, he'd probably be clawing at his coffin trying to get out!

Nope. Too busy decomposing...

Years after he was buried, they needed to prove that it really was LvB who was in the coffin, so they dug it up and opened it.

They saw a shriveled old man surrounded with music sheets, busily erasing them.

"Herr Beethoven! What are you doing?"

"Don't bother me, you fools! Can't you see I'm decomposing?"
