Well, at least they were more resourceful than we are now. The most we do is either bury them in the ground or incinerate them and scatter the ashes... And nobody even thinks about eating the flesh of the dead because it's apparently wrong. To be brutally honest, it's just meat, like all the animals we have killed. There's nothing divine or special about it, it's simply just meat that used to belong to someone who now no longer exists (or has ascended to a higher plane, if you're an esotericist or a believer). Though I can understand that the qualms behind it boiling down to emotional attachment and coping with loss, which is the basis of all human burial rites and preparation of the dead. Still, human meat is still just meat, even if it came from a human. You don't really see animals with any qualms over cannibalism, even if they aren't as sapient as we are. Not that i'm insinuating that i'd gladly gnaw on human flesh myself. I'm not THAT depraved.
must explain why brits have bad teeth

The majority of English people today are Anglo-Saxon, that is to say they are either Angles, Saxons or Jutlanders (from mid/northern germany and denmark). Scotland, Wales and Ireland have higher populations of people descended primarily from Britons.

If you were brought up to believe eating the dead was normal then you'd do it just like everyone else.
Sounds romantic.

[QUOTE=Glitch360;28098286]Huh, so that's why Brits have yellow teeth :v:[/QUOTE] [b] hurr durr stereotyping is fun [/b]
[QUOTE=Instant Mix;28129964][b] hurr durr stereotyping is fun [/b][/QUOTE] Only the Scots have true stereotypes, having horrible ginger hair and regularly taking drugs and drinking like fish.
We where ruthless at one point.
I hardly see how this indicates ALL Brits at that time did it.

So when you lose an eye do they hollow the area where it used to be out? I would totally hide things in there it would be so badass.
Oh my God my ancestors were cannibals.
What's the matter. I ate my dead ca- Brother the other day. Isle of Man still does this
