"There's an epidemic of covert (human) ash-scattering at Disneyland, a practice that has spread from the Haunted Mansion to the Pirates of the Caribbean.

bizarre. I wonder why a) someone would want their remains scattered at Disneyland and b) why there's a health code against it. Its as odd request, but doesn't seem like a big deal.
In one way I agree with you. But I always thing that human ashes must have a special power, like the last remaining physical signs of something that lived for so many years. It's a little--if not a lot--unnerving, to cast--or rather, dust--the pall of real death (ghost dust) at happy Disneyland. It seems a bit perverse. But hey, maybe the deceased just always loved pirates of the caribbean. That wouldl make sense, I guess. I mean, I like certain big rivers in Rockies, and would like to have my dust spilt there when I'm gone.
