Cremation and tourism - the new industry?

Every day there's something new. With 6 + billion, there's gonna be, folks. You wake up thinking it can't get any weirder or you've heard it all. This story, about people dumping human remains via ashes, is touching and odd. Probably unlawful, too. I'm sure some wag of an entrepreneur is going to come up with a pirate-type of business. By pirate, I mean not the Johnny Depp blockbuster series. I mean like rum-running. Oddly enough, it WAS on the Pirates of the Carribean ride.

Raymond Chandler had a beautiful passage in his book THE BIG SLEEP about where one was when dead, "where does it matter...you were sleeping the big sleep."

Jay Leno might say "that's one way for Disney to boost body counts." (Rim shot, please.)
