We were discussing the whole Day of the Dead holiday ritual and along comes another one. XoB/WaPo image shows how, in Bolivia, the relatives of the dead adorn the skulls with flowers. The actual skulls.

Now, this one freaks me out; let's update dad's decaying skull with the latest sunglasses this year? Rest in PEACE, I say, no need to get dressed up all the time because there's nowhere to go.
