File this under "something we'd never even think of doing... ever!" Dutch Artist Bart Jansen turned his dead cat into a helicopter! Upset after losing his cat, Orville, after it was hit by a car, Jansen decided to stuff his pet and transform his body into a remote-controlled helicopter.
Aptly named the "Orvillecopter," the half-cat, half machine even made its debut at the Kunstrai art festival in Amsterdam last weekend. But he doesn't fly perfectly quite yet. But Jensen plans to fix that problem as soon as he can. "He will receive more powerful engines and larger props for his birthday,” Jansen said. Do you think turning your dead cat into a helicopter is a cool way to keep him around -- or is it just plain creepy?

+9Strikes me as a little disrespectful, it's a carcass, put him in the ground, let him decompose and give back to the earth.
My fear though is that the government will confiscate my remains and just waste them, like they waste everything else. If you don't even get to own and bequeath your own skeleton, that's pretty sad, but I'll bet they've got all kinds of rules and fees and red tape.
It would be nice to be able to sell the skeleton before I die, so somebody will have a legally binding claim on it. Anybody want to make me an offer? I'm thinking that if somebody won't give me a decent price for the whole thing, perhaps I could arrange to have my bones posthumously shattered, and sell off the pieces cheap.
"Genuine human skeleton fragment taken from a former sex worker!" You'd pay a couple bucks for that, wouldn't you? Especially if it came with a photo? (The joke of course will be that the photo will be me at age 111, just before I die.)
"Hey ma, look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's dead Uncle Ted!"
