What about:
“Swansea Jack died in 1937 after easting rat poison, and a huge monument was erected over his grave.”

what exactly is easting?

There is a children’s cartoon movie about Balto, appropriately called “Balto.” Very cute, if probably not historically accurate!

Time for a little Grammar correction please. There are several errors in the “Faith, the Bipedal Dog’ Section (see below).

he leg was amputated after it began to atrophy when Faith was seven months old. He owners then taught her how to stand on her rear legs, then hop, and finally to walk upright!

I think it might be kinda cool to stuff and display famous people. It certainly makes more sense than preserving and then burying them.
They could have stuuffed Elvis and posed him in his last moments on the john. Or if that is in poor taste, how about eating a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich watching two women in white undies wrestling?

it’s no weirder than pumping people full of preservatives and then sticking them in airtight boxes in the ground.

they stuffed them to preserve their memory, i assume. casting stuff in bronze is pretty pricey :/
