*still confused by poll*
what do fat people have to do with symbols of death?
except, I suppose they're mortal too...still. skeletons are usually kind of thin.
even the ones in fat people.
look here.
in Peterkirche, in Munich Germany, there's an altar. in it is one of the original catacomb Christians, a lady who they've named Munditia Protogenia.
she's all dressed up in gilded fabric, and with fake hair and eyes stuck in so it looks like she's watching you.
That, to me , is the coolest death related thing I can think of.
oh, other than those cakes and little figurines the Mexicans get up to during the Dia de los Muertos, but hey.
