People Pencils!
 

I found this and I knew I had to post it here.

Pencils made from cremated remains. Blows my mind. All I can do is wonder what kind of pencil a human would make, HB, B, H? There are no pictures of the pencil quality, and for all I know this could be fake. Neat/morbid idea all the same.

I've seen this once before,and thought um ok,it's and interesting idea,but I don't think I would want to be made into a pencil when I die....lol that would just be odd

I don't believe it.

Yeah - Its just a concept art piece and not a real product..

How redundant are pencils anyway - I want my eyes turned into webcams..

The day you end up with one of those in your mouth is the day you realise it was a shit idea.

Bahaha yeah that's true.

I think being made into a pencil is a good idea though if you know you can be turned into wonderful pieces of art.

I like that idea. I almost prefer it to being a diamond. Although, I'd want it to be used to make a detailed sketch of me. That way I would truly become a piece of art.
