If you look further down the page, hair specks are obviously their speciality as there are other celebrity locks for sale, well actually they’re not even locks, not exactly sure what a speck is but if you look really closely at the little box at the bottom of the image this is what you are bidding for, totally bizarre.

Howard began his career at just 18-months of age as he played along to one of his favourite nursery rhymes ‘Old McDonald Had A Farm’, and look at him now, how impressive is this little rocker.

Volcanic Ash

Some people will buy anything and this website just goes to prove it after advertising a jar of volcanic ash from Iceland.  ( www.nammi.is)

The ash has been collected and can be shipped out to customers anywhere in the world, so if you want to be a piece of history here’s where you will find this little treasure.

The site is claiming to be selling the ash with all profits going to ‘ICESAR’ that is helping with the cleaning up process after the eruption.

I can’t imagine anybody who would really want to purchase I jar of ‘dust’, but then some people just don’t know what to spend their money on next I guess!

This is the body of David Morales Colon sat astride his beloved Honda motorbike after being murdered the previous week at the age of 22.

The young man has been embalmed and dressed in his favourite biking outfit with his crash-helmet behind him on the pillion seat, what a way to go.

As the small dead body of the squirrel lays on the ground his mate stands guard over him, shaking his tail at the approaching crows in a warning manner before chasing them off.

At one point he even lays down beside his little buddy before once again showing the birds who’s boss, what a plucky little chap.

Fireworks

Most people express their desires of where they would like their ashes scattered before they have died but here are a few new ideas to go out with a bang!

One of the most popular ideas of late is too be loaded into a firework with a combustible powder and sent soaring into the night sky in a blaze of glory.

A small company in Switzerland use the ashes to create a lasting memento in the form of a diamond.  The ashes are heated and pressurised to produce the gem which is then cut and polished before being added to jewellery of your choice.

Maybe you would prefer the final trip of a lifetime by sending your ashes to the moon, closer to heaven I suppose if nothing else.

Another heirloom to remember your loved ones by, having them added to a handcrafted piece of glass art.  Only a teaspoon full of ashes are used in each item so that more than one can be made or the rest of the ashes can be scattered in required.

Someone has actually started turning ashes into pencils, and just one dead body can produce up to 240 of them.

Finally, a portrait of your loved one painted with their ashes.  The ashes are mixed with a special solution to form a paste which is then used to form the picture.

I think I like the diamond idea the best so that I can always be close, although I’m not sure if it would be to creepy feeling like your being watched all the time!

The event takes place in late September and early October and last for nine days with the Chinese belief that if one abstains from meat and various other stimulants during the ninth month of the lunar calendar they will enjoy good health and bliss.

Not really sure how the video below fits into these beliefs, but each to their own!

I don’t think it’s for me but each to their own as they say!
