Washington becomes first US state to legalise human composting

Washington has become the first state in the US to legalise human composting.

Under the new law, people there can now choose to have their body turned into soil after their death.

The process is seen as an alternative to cremations and burials, and as a practical option in cities where land for graveyards is scarce.

At the end of the composting, loved ones are given the soil, which they can use in planting flowers, vegetables or trees.

Grow vegetables using human compost from loved one, despair as pests eat all of it.

    Maybe bullshit - - - but you don't see a lot of Foxnews stories around here. The community has a resistance against Fox, and surely you realize that by now. And, I'll remind you that it isn't just the radical lefties who dislike Fox. Fox has lost any coolness value they may have ever had long ago. They aren't as bad as CNN, but damned close to it.

    I hear that many smart people from both sides are resisting, very strongly, Phys.Org.

    Fox News, sadly is moving more and more to the losing (wrong) side in covering the Dems. After getting dumped from the boring Dem debates. They forgot the people who got them there. And they're wasting airtime on Mayor Pete, as Chris Wallace likes to call him -- incredible.

    They're not always great. But, I think they're one of the best we have in this Age of Fake News. And by the way, Rupert Murdoch. People don't know this, the same guy that owns Fox News also owns News.Com.Au. The Soylent News Editors, very rarely "run" the story from Fox News. And so many dummies say, "oh, Faux News." Which is the Politically Correct way to say, Fake News. But News.Com.Au, those sail right on through. With ZERO complaints. Because, "oh, it's Foreign, we love Foreign!" They hate America. But Austria, they love. So dumb. Because it's the SAME GUY!!!!
