The BBC is reporting that some folks are planning to build a "pyramid cemetery" in Germany - people's bodies will be cremated, and the ashes will be used in the blocks that make up the pyramid. That's actually kind of a nifty idea, although it would be more low-impact if you used them for construction. (Which I think would be cool, but I suppose maybe not everyone thinks that way. You'd probably have a hard time finding a market for the bricks.)

All that said, though, the BBC article contains a particularly unfortunate quote: "It will grow for thousands of years. I would like to be one of the first people to be buried there." Uh ... sure, buddy. You go right ahead there.
