The dead get all dolled up during the traditional Ma'nene ritual in Indonesia, where family members dig up their deceased loved ones and dress them up in a brand new set of clothing. Held once every three years, the traditional ceremony is a chance for relatives to honor the spirits of their mummified ancestors. Sweet, or creepy? You be the judge.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
