There have got to be better ways to meet women: Teenage girl dug up to be ‘corpse bride’:
In rural China, superstitious villagers have for centuries sought out the bodies of recently deceased woman to be ghost brides for young men who die single.
Even more scarily:
Last year, a gang in southern China was arrested for strangling young women to sell as ghost brides when the supply of female corpses in their area ran short.
I’m hopeful that I won’t die single, having never married, but if I do — please, don’t dig up any dead women on my account. I’m just saying. Via Jeffrey Ford.
Are you sure? ‘Cause I’ll go to the trouble for you…
While it’s…um…”sweet” of you to offer, I think I’ll stick with looking for Ms. Right on this side of the grave for now. Besides, marrying a dead girl could get kind of weird — like, what if we’re from different graveyards, or she wants to raise the kids zombish? I think it’s better if I just pass.
It would only be formaldehyde under the bridge…
And they say romance is dead. Well, undead.
