This is now the official skeleton thread

[TMD]

I don't know why it's sideways leave me alone.

[Jaxxoon R]

At first I thought it was a birthday hat. And it got me wondering: would a skeleton celebrate their birthday? And if so, would it be the day they were born, or the day that they died and became a skeleton?

Priceless.

The time a body has fully decomposed into a skeleton is the time when the skeleton should celebrate.

[SavageCorona]

So the second the very last cell of skin decomposes off their dead bones is the time they jump out of the grave and do a skeleton frolic celebrating being a skeleton

[Jaxxoon R]

Where do mummies fit into this? I mean, they're very magical and pretty spooky. Not skeleton spooky, but admittedly quite spooky. Are they friends with the skeletons?

[Clonehunter]

They have a different evolutionary line, but I don't think they're enemies

[SavageCorona]

Yeah mummies aren't skeletons, since their skin and stuff is preserved but they're not enemies with the skeletons.

I wondered what this was originally from as it looked to be one of the oldest "Dancing Skeletons" floating around.

15th century woodcut illustration, The Seventh Age of the World: The Image of Death from Liber chronicarum (Nuremberg Chronicle) written by Hartmann Schedel and illustrated by Michael Wolgemut in 1493.


“Nothing is better than Death, nor anything worse than an unfair Life,
O great Death, you are men’s eternal rest from labor,
You relax the yoke for the aged, God willing,
And remove the heavy fetters from the necks of the vanquished,
You lift exile and break open the doors of prison,
You rescue from indignities, assigning good things to the just by lots,
And you remain unmoved, implacable by any technique,
On that day preset from the beginning, all these things you command
the peaceful soul to bear, the end of its labors having been promised,
Without you the life of the suffering is a perennial prison.”
—This verse was adapted from Petrarch’s “Letter to Giovanni Colonna” (“Epistola ad Ioannem de Columna”). Translation by Michael North.

"This best-selling secular book of the 15th century chronicles the history of the world in seven ages, from its creation to its final days. The ghoulish jamboree above, one of over 1,000 illustrations that appear in the book, certainly leaves a lasting, hair-raising impression." - Ginny A. Roth, Curator of Prints & Photographs in the History of Medicine Division at the National Library of Medicine.

One time, the dogs outside were barking and I banged on the window and shouted at them.

The window cracked and the cracks looked like a skull.

True story.

I'm surprised this joke thread isn't dead and buried yet.

Classic B-Horror best viewed with tongue in cheek (unless you were talking about the sound quality).

[Pencil of Doom]

It's dead but it's not buried. Just like a skeleton.

What if we are all skeletons?

Skeletons are among us. They hide from our sight by covering themselves in flesh and skin and clothing, so that they look human; but there is a way to tell. With X-rays you can see if a human isn't really just a skeleton in disguise.

“The Skeletons. Undead beings from the depths of the world. Their destination: the surface. Their purpose: to make it their world.

“David Vincent has seen them. For him, it began one lost night on a lonely country road, looking for a shortcut. It began with a closed, deserted diner, and a man too long without sleep to continue his journey. It began with the digging of a hole in the ground.

“Now, David Vincent knows that the Skeletons are here, that they have taken human form. Somehow he must convince a disbelieving world that the nightmare has already begun . . . .”

[BaronOfStuff]

Skeletons are awesome. I have no quarrel with skeletons. Except these skeletons.

These skeletons are cunts.
