Re: Oddball Stuff You Should Know
You asked so don't be surprised when you see the reason this custom started centuries ago before embalming became popular.
The tradition of laying flowers on top of the coffin started centuries ago. When people died flowers were brought in to lie around the bodies to help prevent the smell of the decaying body.

Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Re: Oddball Stuff You Should Know
That's really neat! I read a book on how civilization happened, and the people who became civilized (as in creating agriculture etc) were the ones with grains in their area that a) contained the most nutrients and b) domesticatable livestock. Apparently, not all livestock is easily domesticatable, and not all grains are nutritionally equal. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/184 ... _and_Steel

Re: Oddball Stuff You Should Know
Dubbed by anatomists as an "unconventional bone," the hyoid is unique in that it's the only free-floating bone in the body. The horseshoe-shaped structure isn't connected to any other bones; instead, it connects to ligaments and muscles. In fact, its attachment to surrounding muscles is part of its key function - it holds in place the tongue (above it) and the larynx (below it), and gives force to the muscles responsible for opening the jaw.
True crime aficionados will recognize the hyoid bone for the role it plays in certain cases. A fractured hyoid is often indicative of manual strangulation; it's possible, but rarer, in a suicide. People often point to the bone (and its condition) as evidence for a certain cause of death.
