Answer 2

a number of you have lost the plot, concerning this `slug extermination technique`. You don`t use stable beer, you the two collect the beer left in cans/glasses after a party. or you employ `previous its` sell with the help of date` beer. Pour it into empty yogurt bins, yet only a million/2 fill the tub/container, then bury it interior the soil, so as that the proper of the tub is at floor point. The slug falls into the tub, sups the beer, gets inebriated and might`t get out of the tub. It isn`t the ingesting of the beer that kills it, this is being no longer able to get out of the tub, because of the fact this is inhebriated, it hence drowns. If it turn into waiting to get out, it could have a hangover from the beer, yet this is all. Incidently it additionally works with flat cola in stead of beer.

Well at the sight of death (where the accident or whatever happened) lets other people just passing by about their loved one. The first time i saw that i thought the person was buried there!! But its so that everyone can show their respect and condolences even people who didnt personally know the person.

Answer 4

I have driven past sites that are "marked'. The first think I think of when I see one is about how someone got killed there so, I'm guessing it's just that...to show others that a loved one lost their life in that spot. It's a memorial.

Answer 5

some like to focus on the untimely event for mere value of life goes beyond the deadness of the tombstone .that's the regret of the matter and respect for the individual's misfortune at that site of unsettling lack of closure

Answer 6

Funerals and tributes are not made for the dead but for the living dealing with their lost. I really dont see such gestures being less meaningful because its somewhere else beside the cemetary.

Answer 7

I guess they believe the spirit hangs around the last place on earth where it was alive. Thats where ghosts are supposed to have been seen.

Answer 8

The reason I hear most is that the person's spirit is there, that's where they were last, so a shrine should be where they died.

Answer 9

Its just giving them a closure of where their loved one took their last breath. Sounds crazy, but i did it, when my nephew died on the train tracks.
