Link to the very descriptive article and lots of gruesome photos. When does this type of thing become just plain voyeuristic and abuse of human remains? How would you feel if, in the after life, you knew people were paying to see your bones decorate some church in the Czech Republic??? How do you think your descendants would feel? It's SO bizarre. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara
