Sister Legally Keep Mom’s Corpse

A pair of sisters in England who have kept their mother’s corpse in cold storage at a funereal parlor in London for 10 years while they visited her there several times a week have committed no crimes.

However friends of the family are attempting to stop the  sisters’ behavior of regularly spending time with their 84-year-old mother’s dead body at the funeral home.  The siblings have paid G. Saville and Sons of Wembley to keep cold their mother’s remains for 10 years at a cost of 20 pounds per week, and the funeral parlor also  refreshes her cosmetics.

The funereal director says no health or safety violations have been broken, and that the body does not smell. He says there are no laws that say people cannot keep a corpse for years after the death, it is simply normal to bury the body.

Arkansas Kids Law

Well again Arkansas leaves me laughing. its no wonder the Yankees make their jokes.

This year the legislators made a nifty law in Arkansas. It allows state residents, irregardless of age, to get married, as long as their parents say its okay.

So next time you ask a 5 year old what he got for his birthday, he might say “a wife.” Yes, it would be legal…

The Governor MAY call a special legislative session to correct this. Of course , he may not, hes from Arkansas too.

The law was meant to allow pregnant teens to marry with parental consent. However the wording was not done properly, and well, yeah all kids can marry now.

It will be interesting to see if the governor forces a rewrite in the interest of public sanity.
