Mummified monk in Mongolia 'not dead', say Buddhists
I am not a medical expert, but he looks alive to me.
I've seen the documentary Underworld and he's definitely a vampire.
That's all the proof i need!!Quote:

There's a black market for mummified monks? Who knew?Quote:
The monk was discovered after being stolen by a man hoping to sell him on the black market.
Why are you interested? i know a guy who knows a guy who knows a mummy ..........Quote:

I thought this would be one of those 'Hot or Not' websites...
I Want My Mummy!!
It's still a body, and it isn't going to be light. What thief would come across such a body and say to themselves, "this has got to be worth something!" I'm not sure that the authorities are studying the right person.
I'm dead on the inside.
Luckily my dazzling personality prevents people from noticing.
That monk is dead OF alive.
You spin me round.
Now you mention it that Mummy does look a bit like Pete Burns !
I guess it is relative. A 165 lb man would weight about 63 lbs as a mummy, being dessicated and water being about 60% of an adult male's weight.Quote:

Who the heck is going to pay enough for a mummy to justify the effort to steal the thing, even if it weighed only 10 lbs? After all Michael Jackson is dead, and there probably aren't that many more total wack-job collectors out there in the world.Quote:

Have you *met* humans before?Quote:

I'd like a mummy. I need something to tell me about the honey.
Yeh but this is in Mongolia, its not like there is a lot of other things to steal. A mummy is probably a prize findQuote:

Well, there's some rocks. And a lot of tufty grass. Couple of trebuchets here and there...Quote:

I'd wager that it is a rich source of tribal knowledge and tradition. And some other junk.
Wololo!
That's one mummy for which it might be worth the effort of stealing.Quote:

Robocops get all the cool jobs. What about the robostreetcleaners who have to scrape up the robodog poop?
