Dot's father....SPOILER!!!

I know that we all miss our parents when they are gone, especially if they died prematurely, like Dot's father. With that being said, I found it highly disturbing when Dot "tasted" her father's ashes. I know she misses him terribly, as any child would, but that was simply repulsive.

Perhaps it was done to show us that Dot is a little more messed up than she seems. Just effed up!

The plural of mouse is mice. The plural of goose is geese. Why is the plural of moose not meese?

I don't recall that scene from the movie, but I'm thinking the director just put that in there for the "creep factor", and nothing more.

Would you taste your parents' ashes for whatever reason? Probably not.

Well, if that was her intention, she succeeded.

It's actually not uncommon for someone to taste the ashes of a loved one who has passed.

Uh, where? At Keith Richards' home?

You need to back up statements that ridiculous with some sort of documentation.

Google is a simple tool.

You're right, and it shows zip.

Documentation, please, otherwise it's bunk.

I appreciate the response and the examples, but in reference to the aforementioned person's claim, which simply can't be supported, I'd hardly call an isolated Amazonian tribe and some whacky woman as proof of it being "not uncommon."

It happens, but it's hardly a common practice.

you - SOURCE??

Uh...sure.

If you've actually lived such a life where you find a logical comparison between the two things I would love to know where you live. Not to bother you, but to make sure that I NEVER come anywhere close to it, as your community is REALLY screwed up.

Either that or your school system is one of the worst in the nation and you were never taught what a logical comparison is.
