Should we all be buried with bags of those little green army men?

Emperor Qin of China was buried with an army of terra cotta soldiers.





The ancient Egyptians were often buried with boxes of figurines called Ushabti to be their servants in the afterlife.





If they were right, maybe we should be buried with our own armies of soldiers and servants.

Should we all be buried with bags of those little green army men?

Reply:I think if your belief system dictates as such then yes by all means be buried with what you feel you need.
Reply:I don't know about those guys. I would want some better guys then that with me.





Well I guess green army men make good gremlin hunters so why not. I mean if it is good enough for a nuclear engine room why not for the after life.





Or maybe be barried somewere odd with some random stuff. So some day people will dig you up and try and figure out what it all is about.
Reply:I want to be cremated and my ashes mixed in starbucks coffees and called grande mocha felacio with cream.
Reply:Yeah! Army men would be a cheap alternative to have servants in the afterlife, instead of commissioning art.





Actually, I have a bunch of Ushabtis I made sitting around my house. I am going to buried with those. I hope that an archaeologist digs me up in a few thousand years and puts me in a museum too.
