Crap. Makes me long for the days when I could have gone for Necromancy and Divination classes instead of that useless ol' Computer Office Administration curriculum... :wacko:

I took courses in Thanatology. I don't think it is what you think it is.
It's the study of death and the bereavement process, and how to comfort widows. The various religious aspects of death, the actual biological processes of death, but it's mostly how to comfort people that have lost loved ones.
I don't know about now, but when I did it, it involved sitting in a hospital room and watching somebody die. It's not for everybody, you need some sense of cold clinical detatchment. Otherwise it screws with your mellon.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
