Modern Egypto-Christian Culture

Proposed bill: humans, pets buried in single grave

This week, the Seattle Democrat known for proposing quirky legislation filed a bill, Senate Bill 5063, that would prevent cemeteries from rejecting animal remains and allow the commingling of human and pet remains.

The legislation only covers dogs and cats — a limitation Jacobsen said he hoped would increase the bill's chances of approval.

State law currently defines a cemetery "as a place used or intended to be used for the placement of human remains" — implying no pets allowed. The only way to be legally buried alongside your four-legged friend is to have your ashes interred in a pet cemetery.


One of the things that was rammed down our throats in History class was that it was common in ancient Egypt to be buried with a companion animal, although I'm not sure if the animal was actually in the coffin with you or not. Is the somewhat obscure ritual returning along with all the Horus worship and prominence of secret societies and mystical occurrences?

Also, some (possibly) great news from Dubai:

Economic Woes in Dubai Halt Work on World's Tallest Skyscraper



The skyscraper — billed as nearly two-thirds of a mile tall or more, or the height of more than three of New York's Chrysler Buildings stacked end to end — was designed to top a Dubai rival's nearly complete tower that already is the world's highest.

Nakheel's chief competitor, Emaar Properties, has kept the final height of the silvery steel-and-glass Burj Dubai, or Dubai Tower in Arabic, a closely guarded secret. The company said late last month the building, which is still under construction, had reached a height of 2,559 feet and has more than 160 stories.

The final height of Nakheel's proposed tower is likewise a secret, as is the price tag.


The story keeps mentioning that the company building the "harbor and tower" (A harbor for what? UFOs, looks like.) is state-owned, so I'm not sure if this means a blow affecting the NWO's operations over there or not. Dubai's kind of like a dystopian sandbox (pardon the cliche). I don't read the news too often anymore. None of it seems true, which is part of why I come to sites like these. Everyone's vision is far more honest and intelligent than anything you will ever see on TV or anything mainstream.

Today I got a book in the mail, a copy of Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Awakening (mine is called Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Ecstasy, it's the original. I ordered it before the American version came out but you should probably buy the american version if you live here since it will get there faster) which should provide months if not more of serious undertaking. You would think that I'm far too A.D.D. (or plain dumb) to really get immersed in such a far-out book but I get pulled into books about these topics much more than any book on any other topic. I used to fly through Chuck Palahniuk novels, I could never really enjoy them even though he's a great writer. Lullaby is awesome, I'll give him that.
