only a bit of makeup...

He will be embalmed, don't worry. The Signoracci family has been the family that embalmed the last two Popes, and chances are, they'll be embalming JP II as well. Of curse, today is Tuesday and his funeral is Friday, they may just keep him on ice and not worry about embalming him.

Heh... out in Israel I saw a monk who died in the C7th (c.600A.D.)! Granted he wasn't looking too well, but he was still there (ie fleshy bits, not just skeleton), complete with clothes which are changed every few years... maybe they're hoping to do the same with the Pope?!

I saw that.

Isn't he smelling by now? No offense, but wouldn't he be an unpleasant odor by now?

Ya I was thinking the same thing when I heard they were only going to bury him on Friday. They better hand these off his ears:

Massimo Signoracci, whose family embalmed three other popes, said he could not be certain what had been done without examining the body.

What had been done? It's obvious...the Pope was sent through a cosmetics department is all!
