Heat your pool

...on a budget. I'm kinda iffy on this one. Being resourcefull, ok, I get that, but just the thought gives me the willys.

I guess Grandma still has a use even after she's gone. Does make sense though, you know after those zombie's take over, you need to do something with all the bodies.

I don't know why, but that article has me singing "holy diver" in my head.....

A bit creepy.

Yeah, creepy for sure. Heating with dead bodies seems like something you do as a last resort for survival, not one you do to cut costs. Though history tells us some didn't wait for them to even be dead first.

I can see it now, all the Seniors in the old folks home, "Ok, it's movie night,just step in here and wait for the movie to start.":eek:

Seems like a fine plan to me. Why waste all that energy....the creepier thing would be that they have a public pool close enough to the crematorium to do this....

tonyb

Not a new idea, Hitler had that idea way back. He was a tad impatient on the "already dead" part however.

Seems peeing in the pool would be cheaper. Everybody, I mean everybody, pees in the pool. Jusy saying.

I'm in with the crowd who thinks it's a bit creepy. Though we do use old dinos for heat I guess. Oh well..."ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and great unkie Ernie weighing in at 310 can heat the deep end."

I wonder if you would have to employ a few dudes to sweep the ashes off the roof of the pool. Make sure you close your mouth when entering or leaving would go without saying.

On a side note, while in Florida I couldn't help but notice some signs posted for using pools in the Hotels. One read that if you have diareha, do not enter the pool. That means at some point they had a problem with people doing just that, possibly more than one occurance. YUUUK !!
