Ok panic over. Keith Richards is innocent (this time).
James Doohan’s ashes have finally been found! Star Trek’s ‘Scotty’ had his life long dream fulfilled 3 weeks ago, when his ashes were launched into space. However, as MFF reported beaming them up was the easy part, it was finding the buggers when they returned back here on earth, that proved to be difficult.
Two weeks ago we reported that James Doohan, AKA Scotty, of Star Trek fame
was about to have his life-long dream, of boldly going where no-man had gone
before, fulfilled. Well his final wish came to pass and a portion of his
ashes along with 200 other people’s remains were beamed up into outer space.
Now beaming them up was obviously the easy part. It’s finding where the
rocket has landed, back here on earth, that seems to be the problem.
When giving a eulogy one should never:
* forget the deceased’s name
* mention that the deceased owed them money
* use the phrase “kicked the bucket”
* say the “f” word
* discuss their friend’s plan to stuff a dead ocelot up his own arse later on during the service
John Cleese however, managed to break three of these five rules while giving a eulogy for his great friend Graham Chapman. Chapman, one of the six members of the famed Monty Python group, died on October 4th, 1989 at the age of 48. A service was held for him in the The Great Hall at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in front of his friends and family.
To Snort or not to Snort?
So after spending months of researching the unique and at times mind blowing ways people are disposing of their ashes these days (see our Ashes section), we thought we’d cultivated a rather thick skin when it came to Ash Disposal.
However, jaws dropped to the floor when Keith Richards of Rolling Stones fame admitted to snorting a cocktail of coke and the ashes of his father Bert, up his nose.
