Chet's Nuts Roasting On An Open Fire

News from the world of creepy...

A town in Western Sweden has decided to tackle that country’s problems of an aging population and the environment at the same time by connecting the local crematorium to its district heating system. Cemetery administrator Lennart Andersson explains that the idea came to the town fathers after an environmental review of the crematorium concluded new ovens would be required to conform to regulations. “After all this talk about the environment we realized we should take advantage of the heat created during cremation,” he said.

And there you have it.

Admittedly this item is not particularly newsworthy, but I couldn’t pass up the headline.
