Создатель чипсов Doritos Арч Вест скончался в минувшие выходные в возрасте 97 лет. По просьбе Веста, когда гроб с его телом будут опускать в могилу, вместо традиционных лепестков роз его гроб будут осыпать ни чем иным, как хрустящим картофелем, прославившим его имя.
Старина Вест пополнил ряд эксцентричных людей, которые решили распрощаться с бренным миром по-своему...
1. Дизайнер цилиндрической упаковки чипсов Pringles Фредерик Бор тоже решил после ухода в мир иной не расставаться со своим детищем. Он попросил, чтобы после кремации его прах был захоронен в изобретенной им упаковке. Дети Бора выполнили просьбу отца и купили урну прямо по пути на кладбище.
2. Малькольм Макларен, бывший менеджер группы Sex Pistols, попросил на своих похоронах провести «минуту хаоса» вместо траурной минуты молчания. Его гроб, украшенный надписью «Слишком прыток, чтобы жить, слишком молод, чтобы умереть», вез катафалк, запряженный четверкой черных коней. А замыкал похоронную процессию автобус, из которого неслась, включенная на всю мощность, песня Сида Вишеса «Мой путь».
3. Останки Джина Родденберри были запущены в 1997 году в космос. Вполне заслуженная дань уважения автору научно-фантастического телесериала «Звездный путь» («Star Trek»). Именно ему принадлежит фраза «Смело идти туда, куда не ступала нога человека». Во время «звездных» похорон останки Родденбери были отправлены на околоземную орбиту вместе с прахом 22 других знатоков и поклонников космоса, включая Тимоти Лири, подарившего миру психоделический препарат LSD. Их останки кружили вокруг планеты до 2002 года, после чего капсула вошла в атмосферу Земли.
4. Останками американского журналиста и писателя Хантера С. Томпсона выстрелили из пушки. Просьбу основателя гонзо-журналистики выполнил его друг, голливудский актер Джонни Депп. Пушка была установлена на специально выстроенной для этого башне, украшенной символом томпсоновского стиля — красным кулаком с двумя большими пальцами. К слову сказать, гонзо-журналистика характеризуется глубоко субъективным стилем повествования, ведущегося от первого лица. В таком стиле были написаны лучшие произведения Томпсона, включая книги «Страх и ненависть в Лас-Вегасе», а также «Страх и ненависть: о предвыборной кампании 1972 года».
5. Рэппер Тупак Шакур никогда не скрывал своего пристрастия к марихуане. После смерти певца его собратья по рэпу отдали ему последние почести как сумели. В видеоклипе, распространенном в начале нынешнего года, члены американской рэп-группы Young Outlawz рассказали, что смешали прах Тупака с марихуаной и выкурили получившуюся смесь. В ответ на это заявление адвокат родных покойного рэппера сказал, что это было бы не так просто, так как останки Тупака Шакура находятся под надежной охраной.
6. Юджина Шумейкера называют отцом науки планетологии. Он был одним из трех человек, открывших комету Шумейкера-Леви 9. А вот чести быть похороненным на Луне удостоился он один. Часть праха ученого была доставлена на спутник Земли в 1999 году аппаратом «Лунар Проспектор».
7. С Фрэнком Синатрой прощались по всем католическим канонам. Однако у пышной религиозной церемонии были и другие тона: в гроб певцу положили бутылку виски, зажигалку Zippo, а также десятицентовую монету — как сообщалось, на случай, если ему понадобится сделать срочный звонок. Его надгробный камень украшает надпись: «Все лучшее еще впереди».
8. Элизабет Тейлор славилась многочисленными замужестами, любовью к ювелирным изделиям и безупречным стилем. На свои собственные похороны она, как и подобает звезде ее ранга, прибыла с опозданием. Еще до своей кончины Тейлор попросила, чтобы ее похороны начались на 15 минут позже, чем будет объявлено.
9. Прах геолога Брайана Тэнди был превращен в синтетические бриллианты. Из одного из них, канареечного цвета, сделали кольцо для вдовы, а из оставшихся — кольца для дочерей Тэнди. Компания LifeGem, которая помогает родным усопших не расставаться с их прахом с помощью вот таких искусственных драгоценных камней, выполняла и не такие заказы. Один из ее клиентов, говорят представители LifeGem, попросил их создать бриллиант с использованием волоса Майкла Джексона.
10. Светская львица Сандра Вест, унаследовавшая миллионы своего супруга, нефтяного магната, потребовала, чтобы ее похоронили в кружевной ночной рубашке. Но это было не всё. Нужно было усадить Сандру на переднем сиденье ее любимого голубого «феррари». Предсмертное пожелание госпожи Вест стало причиной долгих разбирательств. Брат Сандры, которому грозила потеря почти 200 тысяч долларов в случае невыполнения ее распоряжений, попытался добиться признания недействительности этого документа. После двух месяцев слушаний, судья вынес решение исполнить все пожелания умершей. В конце концов, труп одели в кружевное белье и посадили за руль любимого автомобиля, который был затем захоронен в огромном ящике на кладбище Сан-Антонио.

Eventually, the corpse was dressed in lace underwear and put him behind the wheel of your favorite car, which was then buried in a huge box in the cemetery of San Antonio.
