This videos are really timeless and are a classic of TH-cam, for sure I will make my sons (that I dont have) see this videos cause are really priceless.

I would want me and another body ( 1 painted red 1 painted white) on top of each other to look like sushi
I wouldn’t do it but if I had to find a weird way of doing things I would make it so I would become a vacuum with my mouth as the bottoms of the thing

I used to be a mortician. I once actually had a request from someone who wanted to be taxidermied when he died. He asked me was it possible how much was it cost and was there a pre-need (buy before you die) plan available. I am not joking. He stated he had spoken to a lawyer and there was nothing at all that would prohibit this from being done legally. I explained that it was simply a service that we were unable to offer. I suggested trying a competitor.
We also used to get a lot of calls on April 1st from people asking about the service for Myra Mains (my remains)

That goatpipe and catopter were unexpected and funny.
I’m at 4:14, and I’m already making a hypothesis that Taxidermy is probably much easier if you have a scan of one’s face wether it be the face of a pet or a human if you have a 3D scan of that face, you can use that to create the perfect dimensional analog to attach the skin for 3D printing

When he started talking about the “corpse as property” bit, it made me think of a recent video by The Internet Historian detailing how a man got trapped in a hole deep underground and it became a big news story. Later, someone bought the property the man was buried on (which was on the same property where he got trapped), and that man’s corpse was put on display in spite of the family’s wishes.
I can legally become property?

"Some of his ashes were aboard the New Horizons probe, which will arrive near Pluto, in 2015."
This shocked me. Didnt know the video was made 10 years ago until i heard that.
Why has this just been put on everybody’s recommended 7 years later?
wondering the same thing. especially from a channel that's got 15m subs. not sure how many he had in 2012 but it was probably still a pretty good bit. maybe the algorithm just likes to take older videos that did pretty well and recommend them later on to get some more views and interest.
OK, Right? I was gonna ask the same thing.
True
Everyone needs to see Vsauce.
Idk lol
him: "Why Don't We Taxidermy Humans?"
me: "oh thats something I never asked my self, in fact thats something I never had the slightest interest in knowing. I might as well just watch the whole video, of course."
Lizandra Barboza I was actually making theories because I’d never thought about it before-
My first thought was who is "we"?
if you’re suddenly interested in the topic, i highly recommend that you watch ask a mortician’s video on it. she gives the practical reason why human taxidermy is a no-no. in short, it looks really, really bad because it’s just straight up skin and there’s nothing to patch it up, like fur or feathers.
lmao
That's not funny
This videos was published 11 years ago has 11 mill views and is 11 minutes, coincidence I think not

lRaziel1 Yeah, but think of this: Your body is forever captured into one of nature's fine beauties, while also lasting generations to come. Plus, I can see someone a little secure with it. But then again, you can easily be sold by a descendant, or stolen. But it's still pretty cool.
lRaziel1 It’s that, or ashes or dirt
lRaziel1 I'd rather like the idea of waking up knowing that a loved one now is an expensive rock than knowing that they are a pile of dead flesh buried underground and eaten by maggots.
Well different people have different ways to remember their loved ones. One might be the turning of a corpse to a diamond. This could symbolise how precious they were to that person and how you are never going to forget them. Keeping a part of them with you, not wanting to let go.
You're right, it may be weird, but why would you discuss about an accessory with a friend? Nobody i'm friends with cares enough or pays any special attention to what i wear. Even if it's something unusual, a ring or a necklace is so minuscule likelihood is nobody is going to ask.
