the big chill

so apparently, cremation is no longer green enough.
it releases smoke and mercury (from dental fillings) into the atmosphere.
and so, "promession."
literally freeze drying the deceased.
the body is placed in liquid nitrogen and frozen to -320 degrees F.
it becomes brittle and is then placed on a vibrating mat where it is shaken until it falls apart and into dust.
if you didn't already know, this process also applies to a frozen charleston chew!
promession has already been given the thumbs-up in Sweden (where it was invented) and Great Britain is hoping to follow suit.
