They say if you bathe in the Ganges that all your sins are washed away. This guy/gall must’ve needed a lot of forgiving. We found him/her on the banks, apparently buried under/crushed by a large rock.
This is the first full-on dead person I’ve ever seen. We were taking a little walk and Situ said, “Hey. Is that a dead person?” I thought for sure it had to be fake or something, but in India why fake a dead person when there are plenty of real ones to save yourself the trouble?
We showed two Indian guys. They weren’t impressed; in fact, they just shrugged their shoulders and went about their way like it was a non-event. They commented on the green sweater was all.
I honestly wondered about the person. How old? A guy or a girl? Buried or accidental death? Why is there no tissue? How long has it been there? Were they wearing any jewelry?
Everyone has a story…..and human skulls make you ponder, you know? I considered taking a rib or something as a souvenir until I realized no one wants a human bone as a present….not even me.
But I did want a picture:

Amazing. I have never seen a death person in the wild either.
Thats one of many thing you have seen that I probably will never see. But thanks for the photo. And the commentary.
Judging by the green I felt fairly confident that the skeleton belonged to a so called superhero named, “Army Man”. However, after further examination I noticed he had a nice, full set of teeth which leads me to believe that maybe it was a tourist.
I guess we can finally put to bed what happened to Hoffa! Although I always pictured him wearing a black sweater instead of green. He should’a known he couldn’t unionize the indians. Damn visionaries.

I’m just curious as to what you did when you put the camera down. Hmmmm, remember that conversation coming home from Atlanta when you made me drive, as usual, even though I was at least twice as hungover as you? Yeah, I know what you did.
Wow.
