US man is making his own bid
for personal immortality, having
created his very own Egyptian
sarcophagus, with hopes that he
can be mummified after he dies.
89-year-old Fred Guentert from
Orlando, Florida has spent the last
25 years making the tomb out of
cedar wood, using techniques
gleaned from ancient Egyptian
designs.
“This has been a great hobby
and I am almost finished,” he said.
“I do have one last wish before I
am placed into the box: that
everyone makes sure I am dead
before they close it”.
CLEARLY the anti-smoking
message is taking a long time to
filter through in some countries.
An eight year old boy from the
western Javanese village of Sin
Indonesia is attracting attention
this week after he was found to
have a pack-a-day cigarette habit.
Child welfare officials have
stepped in to order a month of
therapy, with the chairman of
Indonesia’s Child Protection
Commission, Arist Merdeka Sirait,
saying the boy needed emergency
help because his addiction had
reached “alert level”.
“You can see a dramatic change
of behaviour when he doesn’t
have a cigarette for a while...he
acts like he’s possessed by evil
spirits,” Sirait said.
