What happens to a body part once it’s been removed from your body? Can you take it home? Cremate it? Bury it? Even give it a funeral?

I heard about someone who got a hip replacement and turned the half of their femur into a cane topper - very cool

If there is anything this life has taught me, I do not own anything

I hereby declare that Michael Stevens is welcome to my skeleton and can do whatever he wants with it. I'm 26 years older than you, Michael, so I'm pretty sure you'll outlive me! 💜

I don’t usually notice things like this, but Hannah’s hair color looks really nice in this lighting.
It got my attention because it is in this video the same exact color as my grandmother’s hair at age 16.
My great grandmother saved a very generous piece of hair for her.
It was the first “haircut “ she had since birth. (there were occasional trimming of the fraying ends)
The long hair from her shoulder to her mid calf was bound by a book binder for future use.
Due to my great great grandmother’s foresight, she had enough hair carefully preserved to make a wig later in life when she needed it after loosing most of her hair at a young age.
LOVE THE HAIR HANNAH!

My sister, having stage 4 breast cancer, arranged for some of her ashes to be used for ash jewellery. She died in 2023, I now wear a necklace with a pendant containing a little bit of her. A couple of people have been disgusted by it, they find it morbid, most are more positive about it. I like that I can take 'her' to places with me.

On this subject, it's also worth mentioning the relics (body parts) of various saints, and a somewhat ugly market around them, that has been around for ages.

'There are ten known heads of John the Baptist in the world. But only three of them are real'.

My little brother had a testicle removed due to cancer. It is currently sitting in a jar of formaldehyde behind the bar at his rugby club.

We grew up with my Dad's medical school skeleton in our attic. We called him George.

Hmm, not sure if a crowdfunding called "let's get Jeff Bezos skeleton" would be fully legal. Because of the implications.... But maybe we should check it out

This is undoubtedly the coolest and yet weirdest episode thus far

10:37 you nailed it perfectly. its not just “against” you in the case of sins, but they also testify for any good deeds you did. your hand will testify for the money you donated etc

Micheal mentioning he's never given anyone a lock of hair while earlier mentioning giving away his beard hair is pretty funny
@
As per the well known and fully binding rules of calling "shotgun", we all heard it: Michael called Jeff Bezos's skeleton.

Okay, I'll be honest: the random scheduling of the episodes adds to the fun😂

This is one of the most unhinged episodes that I've seen and I love it
