No no, you leave the bones in, they impart a lot of the flavour.

For real though I know cultures do poo poo differently and view death in different ways and all that, but I've often thought the tradition of digging through your dead relly's remains with some big ol' chopsticks could be kinda traumatic for the survivors. Do they leave the skull and everything in?

Serious talk, the skull is supposed to be the last part that goes into the urn, to make sure the dead aren't put in upside-down. My family doesn't save them afterwards since it takes up space, and instead the ashes are split into multiple urns and most of it planted in the dirt at the family's home, with a small portion being saved to be placed in the family shrine back in Japan. No I don't know what happens with the bones after we pick them out. It is hard to describe but it does leave a sense of finality, especially if you weren't able to be there for the actual death and the bone picking ritual definitely helps me with closure.

Tom Bombadil was replaced by Tree Beard in a scene only on the director’s cut in The Two Towers, when Merry and Pippin are getting consumed by a tree presumed to be Old Man Willow.

So in a way, he is in the movies.

Also I think Gandalf hums one of his songs in Fellowship.

Tom Bombadil is a good character, simply because he manages to piss off both groups of LotR fans, by both his presence and his absence.

In modern times we have a machine called a cremulator that helpfully reduces the skeleton to a sort of coarse grit of bone chips.

Is that the thing that's basically an industrial strength tumble dryer, that tosses your bones around with several nice heavy cannonballs?

Pope Hilarius II posted:

Pretty sure they called him Hermes Trismegistos or something like that. I may be wrong but I can't remember a single Greek word that ends on a thèta, not even a loanword.
I got curious, Wikipedia suggests they did use Thoth, but I doubt the Classical Greeks had much reason to refer to him directly at all, it would have varied significantly by city-state, and ultimately would have been been more of a Ptolemaic problem. By then it looks like they did merge him into Hermes for the Greek population.

But the important thing is the ancients had no concept of lower case, so at worst it would have been ΘΩΘ and we can still prove that JPG wrong.

Is that a thing though? Can you opt in for a burial at sea? Have them take you 100 miles out, tie a cinderblock to you and dump you overboard.

Nice and quick, and provides lots of nutrients to sea life. I'd do that.

When you do that, it’s called a “whale fall”.
