Auto-icon

I fail to see how my statement that Bentham's body is in a box at UCL is 'unsourced', so I've put it back in. If I must wander down there myself between lectures and take a picture to prove it, then so be it.Twitcher 07:58, 8 February 2010 (EST)

That would be good. Or provide a quotation from a published author with a link (or at least a book title and page number). --Ed Poor Talk 08:11, 8 February 2010 (EST)
  • Bentham's preserved body is on public display at University College London (UCL), topped by a wax head [1]

The quotation I read, said "skeleton" not "body". And why is it relevant, anyway? We're not a newspaper struggling for circulation; we don't need fascinating tidbits to hold our readers' attention. --Ed Poor Talk 08:15, 8 February 2010 (EST)

Since when are we banned from putting things of interest into articles? If anything it shows his drastic dissent with common Christian practice; he preferred to have a true monument to his death rather than pious burial. How exactly, by the way, is UCL's own page on Jeremy Bentham's Auto-Icon, given that the Auto-Icon is in the UCL cloisters, unreliable? Twitcher 09:07, 8 February 2010 (EST)
