A Vietnamese man dug up his wife’s corpse and slept beside it for five years because he wanted to hug her in bed, an online newspaper reports.
The 55-year-old man from a small town in the central province of Quang Nam opened up his wife’s grave in 2004, moulded clay around the remains to give the figure of a woman, put clothes on her and then placed her in his bed, Vietnamnet.vn said.
The man, Le Van, told the website that after his wife died in 2003 he slept ontop of her grave, but about 20 months later he worried about rain, wind and cold, so he decided to dig a tunnel into the grave “to sleep with her”.
His children found out, though, and prevented him from going to the grave. So one night in November 2004 he dug up his wife’s remains and took them home, Vietnamnet reported.
The website carried a photo of Van with the figure of his wife, which is still in his home.
The father of seven said neighbours did not dare visit the house for several years.
“I’m a person that does things differently. I’m not like normal people,” he was quoted as saying.

Airplane Bombing of the Day: Is this a Greek airliner tagged with the words “Stay High”? Possibly. The photos were posted online by graffiti artist REVOK, well-known for his involvement with the notorious Air Force One tagging hoax, so all may not be on the up and up.
Nonetheless, if this does turn out to be an authentic bombing of a plane in service, its badassery is second to none.

Labels may be losing money, artists making more
The Times Labs blog takes a hard look at the data on music sales and live performances and concludes that while the labels’ profits might be falling, artists are taking in more money, thanks to the booming growth of live shows. The Times says that they’d like more granular data about who’s making all the money from concerts — is there a category of act that’s a real winner here? — but the trend seems clear. The 21st century music scene is the best world ever for some musicians and music-industry businesses, and the worst for others. Which raises the question: is it really copyright law’s job to make sure that last years winners keep on winning? Or is it enough to ensure that there will always be winners?
the musical era of live shows. i can dig it!
