phantomfiddler Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 One can see the somewhat misplaced logic here. What does one do to avoid being electrocuted ? Provide a good "earth" !

He thought she was turning into a ghost...she died.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eeyang wah Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I am dreading the day that I have an accident here and some locals try to help me.

sandemara Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Many old cemetries in Europe and colonised America (not so long ago!) had little bells attached to twine leading underground, in case the main character at a funeral miraculously revived and wanted to be rescued, brought back to the surface. Further back, in ancient Egypt, the privileged hi-so's and other aristocrats had their brains pulled out through their nostrils with a highly sophisticated tool (similar to a specially-twisted wire coat-hanger) if they wanted to gain the benefits of mummification (and later resurrection). Priests made a lot of money out of that scam while it lasted. I guess the hi-so's were certain this final act was something they deserved after a life of favoured luxury. No doubt the priests agreed.
