One of the funniest blog posts I've ever read

Is this one, from 10 years ago, featured on Whatever. John Scalzi has been posting ten year old blog posts, and today his choice was this hysterical piece about a dead groundhog supposedly found on Groundhog Day. Although the entire post had me squirting coffee out my nose, the poem made me laugh so hard I scared the dog (who reacted like he usually does when he makes surprise farts and scares himself!).

Anyhow: FUNNY+++++

Okay..weirder than weird

Did anyone on my flist hear about this, and yet not *say* anything?  A 24 year old guy was found dead under a bridge in Puerto Rico (the articles do not say what he died from, that I recall). His mother, who said his final wish was to be present at his own funeral/wake, had him embalmed and propped up against a corner of her living room (behind the coffin, full of flowers) for THREE DAYS!

Is this just not one of the creepiest things you've heard of?
