ICONIC CORPSE: Vladimir Lenin
Added 2017-09-01 17:20:20 +0000 UTCPerhaps the most famous corpse of all.
For a man that never wanted to be preserved, Lenin is going strong 93 years later. Or, as you'll learn, 23% of the original him is still going strong.
What are the ethics here? I don't go into this much in the video (it's already 10 minutes!) but if someone didn't want to be preserved, didn't want to be an icon, is it really fair to keep them on public display for almost a century? There are people who say, "bury him already!" Are you one of them?
Happy Friday, deathlings (lawd knows we need it).

Great video, as always!! But my curiosity has got the best of me, and I'm sorry this isn't directly related to your video, but can you PLEASE PLEASE tell me where you bought that beautiful lamp?! I'm buying my first home soon and that lamp is just screaming my name! Btw, countdown to your new book, is so close it's Killin me.
