developments in post-thukdam decomposition trajectories

Scines? What treblossé did Nyingmen Dzueghchon during the ninth prellinary gamurlchtlychaub archleflunque through the nasturtia of Garabassango? I hear it's in the pamphlet, hold on a moment, ah, here we go: Nyingmen Dzueghchon of Tyemkairo-on-Valvussung achieved a record thukdam of 30 days at the New Urzmire Medical Center, thirty days until she was at thermal equilibrium with the outside environment, a record accomplishment, but the deep meditators of Tyemkairo-on-Valvussung are working on some refinements to thukdam. Their Chief-of-Research, Abbot Vnezmuess Orthoa says: "In addition to thermal equilibrium, we are studying the material disposition of the body: worship of mummified meditators is akin to the worst materialism, exactly the sort of thing that we're stridently opposed to. There are a number of possibilities that we are considering here: we could put the body in a thermal depolymerization machine and spread the atoms over the ocean... for both the energy that sustained the meditator and composed the meditator ultimately derived from the sun, and we believe it shows disrespect as well as not being carbon-neutral to un-fix fixed carbon. While the return of the carbon to an unfixed form typical of cremation appeals to our older elements, we now feel that it is a primitive and disrespectful way of communing with nature: we do not disrespect the work of plants, and to unfix carbon would be doing so. Another way of accomplishing this would to develop a sort of slow fungus, that only finds the bodies of those who have achieved thukdam appealing to incorporate. We admit that the thermal depolymerization scheme is *fast*, but we are interested in finding a carbon-neutral to positive way that is slow and advantageous over decomposition, therefore the notion of a fungal garden of the dead appeals to us. They would slowly become ecosystems".
