Who’s that in my casket?
Man presumed dead in train accident calls daughter at own funeralThe Associated Press


Dane Squires was late for his own funeral.

At least it seemed that way after people gathered Thursday at a Toronto funeral home to mourn the retired welder from Newfoundland, whom they believed had been hit by a train.

Relatives of Squires were watching the casket being loaded into a hearse when his daughter Trina was told she had an important phone call.

Her father was on the other end.

"She totally, totally lost it," Squires' brother Gilbert said.

"She said, `There's a ghost talking to me on the phone. Please somebody try to make sense out of this because I'm losing my mind.'"

Squires was initially identified as the man who was hit by a commuter train last Friday night. The body was badly mutilated in the accident but still fit Squires' description, police said. Authorities haven't yet identified the victim.

"He went to my sister's house, and whoever answered the door fainted," said Gilbert Squires, noting his brother didn't become aware of the confusion until he read his own obituary in the newspaper.

Squires' sister identified the dead man as her brother after viewing the body at the coroner's office this week, police said.

Interesting studies have been done on that. Its almost scary. I could post the same thing with three different avatars, and it will hit people three different ways. (think of a certain pink avatar of someone elses)
the way people respond to a post determines the direction of that relationship because it will lay the ground work for all future interactions.

So you think I look like a piece of paper, or do you envision a computerless bum?

When I finally decide on an avatar, it think it will be a sexy one. People are so much nicer to you that way.
