View submission: People who draw penises on everything, why?
When I went to the catacombs in Paris, it was unreal how many of the skulls had dicks drawn on them.
I suppose once they’ve been piled ornately, the ship has already sailed on desecrating a corpse?

One of the few 4chan threads I remember was about a guy actually stealing a skull from the catacombs.
He posted said skull with his penis inside it, like in the eye hole, to show proof.

Now, because of your comment, I’m thinking I would like my skull to be graffitied after my death. I could become art, even if it’s just a bunch of peens. Like an after death performance art piece.

I watched them arrest an entire family of tourists for trying to steal a skull. I honestly don't understand that mentality.

In fairness, the piling of bones in the Parisian catacombs was done both as a necessity and relatively respectfully. Corpses were dug out of the ground and driven in the dead of night via horse drawn hearse to the catacombs where they were carefully interned. Sadly the remains weren't named and given individual plots but by the time the decision was made, many of the cemeteries in Paris were literally bursting at the seams with corpses.. Like literally bursting through the walls into people's cellars.
It's only now in this modern day that people think it's funny to draw dicks on their remains. Because people are cunts.

Wow, yikes. We didn't notice that in the areas we toured, but the guide had told us they had been working on a restoration project over that last 10 years or so and were periodically changing the tour routes so they could maintain/restore new areas for tour, which was interesting

When I die, I want my skeleton to be displayed but with a huge bone dick, which is ironic because dicks have no bones >!and my peepee is tiny.!<

It always creeped me out that the bones are all just jumbled up amongst each other. I know they are just bones, but having your skull part of a decorative wall, while your arms and legs are part of a table or something is just creepy.

Imagine dying and then years later some 12yo on a school trip draws a dick on your skull... 🤣

Can't wait for archeologists hundreds of years from now to be like "the human body was viewed as sacred by people in the 21st century, so much so that they decorated the bones of their dead with personalized images of human phalluses."

Bold of you to assume they didn’t already have dicks on their skulls prior to death.

Yes once your skull becomes one of millions in piles and lining walls underground i think its safe to say that corpse is sufficiently desecrated

They have been doing this forever. I recall a bunch of ancient Roman stuff they found with dicks drawn on it. It's one of the few jokes that can stand the test if time.

If someone dies in the catacombs, then do they just add them to the walls or do people have to go down and get that specific body?

There are ducks graffitied on walls in Pompeii. I remember hearing it was code for a brothel, but who knows.
