Do you know anything about Parsees? "Parsi, also spelled Parsee, member of a group of followers in India of the Iranian prophet Zoroaster. The Parsis, whose name means "Persians", are descended from Persian Zoroastrians who emigrated to India to avoid religious persecution by the Muslims."
I recall something in Delhi I think, some building where the Parsi would place the dead on a high platform to let the vultures eat the body. I might be recalling wrong. I actually was not allowed to go in and see, but I was told about it on the street.
Also, while I never saw such, I have a relative who has property in Mumbai (Bombay) who confirms the following:
"In 1931, in the wildernesses of the Malabar hills overlooking the financial capital of Mumbai, Parsi Zoroastrians erected a Dakhma - Tower of Silence. Fleets of white-rumped and long-billed vultures once swooped and returned to the blue skies after having quickly devoured the corpses left there."
So it is true. And I am wondering if you believe this and plan on having a sky-burial as it is called? Not sure where you live, I recall it is UK. But here is California we have "Black Hawks" which is not a hawk at all but large vulture called a "Turkey Vulture" that I see all the time, they look like this and do you have vultures in your area that would help with sky burials?

Personally I don't eat breakfast. Just a cup of Earl Grey tea
You should, it reduces your chance of heart attack by nearly 40%.
Even, if it is small it is important.

No, Hilary made them up.
The vegetarian kind
Fairly Odd Parents and Totally Spies. Um. Yeah.
I write erotic novels. BDSM, sadomasochism, rape etc.
I was 7, so...I can't really remember. I didn't really like it to be honest. Everything too big and commericalised, the people suspiciously friendly, very different sense of humour, but the weather was good.
Curious, is there money to be made in that genre?
Nope, most of the stuff I write is illegal or too taboo. Unfortunate but I still enjoy writing it. Been writing erotica since I was 12 and not stopping anytime soon.
I asked because my son for a time (may still, but I don't know) made some extra money writing erotica online. He's a good writer, but I have no idea if he sold much.

Is that related to your Zoroastrianism religion? Ancient Persia artifacts present only warriors, lions, swards... and Ahura Mazda
Haha no.Is that related to your Zoroastrianism religion? Ancient Persia artifacts present only warriors, lions, swards... and Ahura Mazda
I see. I'd personally never dream of publishing online; I'd only want to do it the old fashioned way: a good paper and glue bound book. The internet is basically uncontrollable and once your work is out there it's never coming back.

No-one is quite sure what the Faravahar is supposed to be, but here is some information:

Now I've read some informative and well-written posts, but this one tops them all.
I'm sure that it's 1) not under his real name, and 2) he doesn't care if gets spread around...now his "real" writing, he does care about...but so far, he has made essentially $0 by getting it published.
