This is where scattering ashes goes showbiz. Companies are springing up all over the world to cash in on hi-tech ways to help dispose of your loved ones in style. If you are looking for a significant gesture of love and remembrance, this list is a starting point to look at some of the more esoteric ways of scattering ashes.

Freeze-Drying

Forget the mad scientist Frankenstein approach to keep bodies in cryogenic chambers until some day in the future when cures are available for the ailments that killed them. The 21st century approach is freeze drying the body and crushing the remains in to a fine powder. This powder is then available for scattering or incorporating in a memorial.

Swedish company Promessa is one of the forefront developers of freeze drying technology. See website for more about the company.

One year into the new century, a little boy was born in Chicago. His name was Walter but everybody called him “Walt”. Together with his brother Roy, Walt started his own company – Walt Disney Productions in 1929 which granted him stardom and success in the movie making industry. Several amusement parks and hundreds of movies later, the time has come to make the ratings official. Here are the ten best Disney movies of all time.

As most of my lists you will probably disagree with the order and even the selection of movies below. Now worries, just point out the injustice in the comments. Just do me a favor, and keep it constructive. Thanks!

1. The Lion King

1994 was the year when a lion cub named Simba, his merkaat friend Timon and warthog Pumbaa stole the hearts of millions worldwide, subsequently also popularizing the old Swahili saying – Hakuna Matata (There are no worries). The Lion King is a classic Disney animation of the good old kind with the clear struggle between good and evil and numerous breaks in the storyline for colorful musical interludes – all taken to the Tanzanian savanna.

Another Top 10 Film Noir Movies

that it can be difficult to decide where to begin exploring the genre.  Some films have been cemented in time as quintessential examples of the genre while others have been the subject of decades-long debates concerning their validity as film noir.  When I wrote the predecessor to this list, the Top Ten Classic Era Film Noir, I tried to compose a list containing films that best represented the popular conceptions of the genre: hard boiled detectives, morally ambiguous gangsters, and wily femme fatales.  But the universe of film noir is so much more diverse than those stereotypes would lead you to believe.  Some are bizarre character portraits, taut thrillers, police procedurals, and tales of doomed romances.  So with this list I have compiled ten more classics in chronological order that are a bit

Top 10 Toughest Athletic Challenges

The Tough Guy is a 12km foot race, but don’t let the short distance fool you. The creator of the course, believing that nature can’t provide a racetrack that’s hardcore enough for him, has built a series of obstacles that combine aspects of American Gladiators with the Vietnam War. Competitors climb up log walls, shimmy up poles to slide across high ropes, run through fire pits, navigate through sewer pipes, wade across chest deep water and crawl under barbed wire while smoke bombs go off over their heads. Oh, and it takes place in the middle of January. Sounds fun, right?

The event, which is held on some crazy British guy’s private land, can attract up to 6000 people each year. Injuries are common, and two people have even been killed, which is why you have to sign a

Top 10 Creepy Creatures of the Deep

.

You see, the hagfish enters other creatures and then eats them from the inside out. And that’s not even the absolute worst part. The hagfish has no way to penetrate the skin, so it has to find some way to get into the fish. That would be the fish’s orifices. And all orifices are up for grabs.

That’s right, the hagfish will not only eat its prey alive, it’ll anally violate it first.

Top 10 Proms Gone Wrong

in It’s a Wonderful Life.  If you’re going to tick off any member of The Little Rascals, it shouldn’t be Alfalfa, and it shouldn’t be around a pool.  Luckily for George Bailey (James Stewart), the Bedford Falls High School prom is decades before prom-night vengeance takes a bloody turn.  Everyone even looks like they’re having a blast ruining their formal wear.  Better a chlorine bath than a blood bath!

9.  Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion (1997)

Two Madonnas walk into a prom…no, it’s not the beginning of a joke, it’s Romy (Mira Sorvino) and Michele (Lisa Kudrow) at their Senior prom.  Time didn’t soften any harsh memories of that night for the outsiders, especially when the Prom King was a royal jerk.

Romy missed out on dancing with the king, but at least she looked totally great with blonde hair and black roots.  Plus she lost all the weight from having Mono (aka
