Classroom Skeleton Turns Out To Be Human, they hold a funeral
Quote:
A skeleton used to teach art lessons at a British school for four decades is being put to rest after his remains were identified as human.
The skeleton was named "Arthur" by instructors at Haydock High School in Wigan, Greater Manchester, who thought the bag of bones was artificial, South West News Service reports.
After the skeleton was discovered to be human, a local funeral home offered to give him a funeral, including coffin, hearse and pall bearers free of charge.
The funeral is taking place Thursday at a cemetery in Greater Manchester and will be attended by teachers and students from the school where he "worked" for 40 years.
I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe 'Arthur' dedicated his body to science?
Although, skeletons don't generally end up in high school classrooms when that happens...
Just the thought of having the skeleton of an actual dead person in the classroom and touching it and all that. Who even brought it to the school in the first place
