Well, it's Halloween, so I'm feeling obligated to write a list about something Halloweeny. I received a tweet this morning showing hanging coffins, and thought they might fit well into a list of bizarre coffins.I have no idea if this list will interest anyone, but I was surprisingly intrigued (and shocked) as I did my research. Hope you enjoy!
Gizmodo has a small gallery of crazy coffins, and this one caught my attention. I guess this egg would look nice next to your wicker couch.
Nope, this isn't a joke. And I guess it's not really about the coffin on this one as it is about the fact that there's a 2008 version of a coffin calendar. Head over to Underground Humor for all the details.

From Toptenz:
Across the world, there are museums of history, of art and of science. Some of the most famous include the Louvre, the Smithsonian and San Francisco’s Exploratorium. But for as many famous museums as there are around the world, there are just as many strange museums. To make it on this list, the wackier museum is the better.

From the Site:
He's run a half-marathon in the Arctic Circle region – in bare feet. He's been entombed in ice for 72 straight minutes. He's swum 80 meters beneath a layer of ice. He's climbed partway up Mount Everest, clad only in a pair of shorts.
This man is known, unsurprisingly, as The Iceman. And no, he's not a new character on Heroes – he's a 48-year-old Dutchman named Wim Hof, who has the ability to control his body's temperature through an ancient form of meditation known as Tummo. Though Tummo is normally practiced only by monks, Hof has mastered the art form to such an extent that he never feels cold, even in sub-zero temperatures that could cause severe hypothermia, or even death, should us normal people attempt such stunts.
