Strapping a corpse onto a motorcycle is real gross, even if it is the decaying corpse of your father.

Another Day, Another Dead Guy in a Whale Tank Story
1999-07-07 00:46:42
I don't even have a little witty thing to say about this one. It's a dead naked guy found inside a killer whale tank. And it makes me sort of sad.
I mean, what if the guy just wanted to pet the whale? Lovingly, on the head, a friendly pat. And the whale rips his clothes off and slams him into the sides of the tank a few times and he's dead. Just like that. See, we DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT MUCH! Maybe he just drowned, and the whale was, like, really nice to him the whole time before he died. WE DON'T KNOW!
No one knows why the naked man was in the killer whale tank, except the naked man, and he's dead. Also, his body was found "draped over the back of the killer whale named Tillikum."
I'm all verklempt. Please talk amongst yourselves for a while.

The Deep Dark Underbelly of the Star Wars Myth, or Ramayana Remembered
It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters.
