National Geographic magazine has some very interesting articles. If you've missed the recent February 2009 issue, then you missed the photo-essay "Voices from the Crypt". In this story with its amazing photographs, you can look at death up-close and for as long as you like, because, as it says in the article, the living would never tolerate it. How true.
The photos are mesmerizing. The embalming procedures used on the deceased pictured really allowed the body to be preserved like you can't imagine -- wait until you see the picture of the girl who died in the 1920's...
So, if you need to see something different, if you need inspiration for that blucky, or if you have a thing for the dead, then be sure to check out this article (click on feature article) or go directly to the photos.
