Pirate Skeleton

When "Pirates of the Caribbean" opened at Disneyland in 1967, guests floated past real human skeletons. Subsequent vast improvements in the field of skeleton-fakery make this no longer the case, but the original tableau did consist of dressed-and-posed former people.

I found this a little chilling, but my older son assured me that he would be honored to spend his afterlife as a permanent installation on "Pirates of the Caribbean." He even struck a pose of the dead pirate he would like to be, and you could just see his total enjoyment of the idea.
