La Mort du Fossoyeur, Carlos Schwabe, 1895
Here is a nice little test I would like to share with you: The Death Test. I was visiting my favorite testing site when I stumbled upon this. Feel free to take it.

At the end of the the test, they ask participants to share a heartwarming story about a loved one who died. Some are less heartwarming than others.
"Uncle Steve: I took my uncle out to lunch one day, at a diner. He ordered a chopped liver sandwich. I have taken many people out for dinner/lunch over the years, but he was the only one that ordered a chopped liver sandwich."

Interesting to read the stories about people that have passed away.
The Grim Reaper is actually an interesting concept. I believe that you reap what you sow.

hi kevin~ thanks for bringing that up. I just did a little investigation, and the Grim Reaper does in fact have a fascinating history, as does death itself in the history of the world. There's no universal consensus on which gender represents it best, but I found a painting that offers one view.
