Crash Test Dummies - not sure I needed to know this...

I've changed my mind, I'm leaving my body to comedy instead

I don't see what the big deal is. I don't think the vague disclosure is deceptive at all.

I don't get it either. If you are leaving your body to science, something nasty is going to happen. If you let it decompose, something nasty is going to happen, if you cremate, something nasty is going to happen. May as well let someone learn from it so it can benefit others.

I've heard that Western Carolina University has one of those

It's pretty cool stuff actually. I just don't want to pick up the pieces after they're done crashing. I'd much rather be useful after I'm dead than rot... and no berkleying way am I being stuffed into a box and buried. As for animal testing... anesthetized kitties & rats are one thing, fully conscious chimps strapped into a car and smashed into a wall... yeah, let's just say I have a problem with that.

I imagine the chimp was pissed.
