They're finding really old nails and it's super creepy

Okay, so I’m scrolling through the news this morning, trying to wake up with my chai, and I see this story about archaeologists in Rome. They're digging around in this old Roman necropolis, right? And they find three skeletons, but get this — they have *iron nails* on their chests. Like, pushed into them. The theory is it was some kind of ritual to keep the spirits from getting restless. I mean, can you imagine? "Oh, you died? Here, have some nails, just in case you get any ideas about coming back and haunting the living."

I’m picturing this in Seattle, you know? Like, what would that even look like? We don't really do ancient necropolises, unless you count the old Denny Regrade, which was basically just moving dirt around. But I mean, if we had a ritual like that here, it would probably involve a super artisanal nail, sourced locally from some craft fair in Ballard, and maybe some passive-aggressive note about not disturbing the peace. We’re more about composting our dead, not nailing them down. But honestly, the thought of someone so worried about restless spirits that they’d go to that extreme? It's kind of... human, isn't it?

That's Seattle — Rainier's out, everything's forgiven.

You know, Keith and the crew probably have a super wild take on this kind of stuff every morning. Check them out live at mornings.live.
