Dead count up to 124 now.
Dancing with rotted corpses? What could go wrong? Anyone?

“Groups of people heave the corpses above their heads and carry them off, before laying them side-by-side on the ground to be cleaned and dressed. Their dried burial garments are delicately pulled from their corpses and the bodies are dressed in fresh silk garments. Women who are having trouble conceiving will take fragments of an ancestor’s old shroud and place them under their mattresses (or even eat them) to induce pregnancy.’

Years ago The Guinness Book of Records claimed that the deadliest disease was “Laughing Sickness” which afflicted the Fore Tribe in New Guinea. It was 100% fatal.
Turns out that it was basically Mad Cow Disease — they ate the brains of loved ones as part of their funeral rites. This — it turns out — is a bad idea.
I believe they abandoned the practice, and “Laughing Sickness” stopped being a problem.

Primitive bloody savages is all that they are. Defend yourselves accordingly should they attack.

As Ann Coulter would say, the swamp dwellers at the State Department will read about this and think: “What a cool culture to import into the United States.”
