The majority of Tibetans adhere to Buddhism, which teaches rebirth. There is no need to preserve the body, as it is now an empty vessel. Birds may eat it, or nature may let it decompose. So the function of the sky burial is simply the disposal of the remains. In much of Tibet the ground is too hard and rocky to dig a grave, and with fuel and timber scarce, a sky burial is often more practical than cremation.

I was raised Tibetan Buddhist more or less, or at least that's the only ethos i knew as a kid.

I never heard of this shit till today.

I think its kinda cool, but i would still rather do what Hunter S

, or had done, for his big day.

The new Facebook updates are some truly 21st century, information age next level shit.

Taken from Facebook's Plan To Take Over the Web

...For instance, as IMDb adds "like" buttons to its pages, the site will tell Facebook which ones represent actors, which ones are directors, and which ones are movies. Facebook will thus get a tiny bit smarter—it will be able to tell the difference between The Rock and The Rock. That might not sound like a big deal, but this is exactly the sort of information that Google spends all its time building algorithms to try to determine. Now Facebook will get it for free, from Web owners themselves.

Facebook will also be learning about you, and thus it will be able to guess, based on your profile, whether you're looking for The Rock, rock music, or rock formations.

Reminds me of the AI character Jane in Orson Scott Card books. Her self awareness was born out of the complexity of an advanced society's computer and communications system; she just popped into existence without rhyme nor reason. Sort of how those still unresolved bugs in the Toyota computer guidance systems prevented people from slowing down their cars - top engineers can't find a solution and some view it as mysterious and unpredictable behavior evolving out of irreducibly complex systems.

Perhaps over time the behaviors of guidance systems and information databases will become more and more bizarre.. or most frighteningly of all... aware.

I for one disabled all that new facebook shit.
