    I had to listen to that to remind me of the tune, had completely forgotten it, although listening to it now, it should have stayed forgotten. <laugh>

    Being dead doesn't scare me at all, I'll be gone. The process of dying though sounds miserable. I've often wondered what can still be experienced (if anything), and for how long, after you die. We know there are electrical pulses still in the brain after someone dies, we don't think that's thoughts... but few things sound more horrific than the idea of even a sliver of consciousness, and worse if your body might be sending information to your brain.

    Not that it makes much difference since I'll be dead, but always wanted to be cremated, didn't like the idea of body being turned to goey toxic sludge for centuries by the embalming fluids they use in burials these days. Brain better be well and truly off when they burn me though! <laugh>

    I had to do a bit on Nile Rodgers from my guitar lessons, hence why I put that song up. I can't be arsed to check at the moment, but I think someone like Queen took something from it, but can't remember what now.

    Chaka Khan, loved that when that came out, no idea why, guess I was young then.

    I wasn't convinced the brain stopped communicating internally in some situations when you die, so I was curious to what extent. The narrative could be wrong, but it just would tick a lot of boxes of my life flashed before my eyes and so called outer body experiences.

    spare a thought for the Muslims who bury their dead within a short time frame……now it’s not unknown for some pronounced dead to actually come alive again in the morgue after a few days

    being buried alive scares me especially if they don’t put rizla weed and a lighter in casket with me

    Why in the old days used to have bells above coffins so if someone woke up buried alive they could signal for help. Used to happen quite a bit once upon a time.

    I might ask for my coffin to be fitted with a bell when I die, but knowing you bastards, someone will nick the clapper. <laugh>

    I think the hope was someone would just hear it and happen to be nearby (the expressions "saved by the bell" and "dead ringer" are believed to come from this):

    This photo the gravestone looks suspiciously fresh for a grave that old... but anyhow, can see the hook where the bell supposedly once hung on this grave:

    Reading that article couldn’t help but laugh at the part where it sometimes the bell would ring because the body swelled during decay…….fk digging that up I’d pretend I didn’t hear it if it was me :emoticon-0130-devil
