EDIT: Apparently it's really this:
When you see “Spock hands” on a tomb, you are actually looking at “Cohen hands,” which may also be referred to as the “Hands of Kohanim.” This hand gesture signifies that the deceased is a Jewish person who descended from the priestly Tribe of Cohen.

Well, I forgot he was Jewish and derived the Vulcan salutation from a ritual, so both hands would be correct for the ritual. But shouldn’t the thumbs be out? They look tucked in.

As others have said, I don't see anything morbid or weird in your pastime at all.

Speaking of Jack Lemmon. He used to tell the story of the time he, Matthau, and their wives took a trip of Europe together. One day they visited the concentration camp at Dachau. While they were there Matthau and his wife got in a big argument. They were still fighting when they got in the car to leave, at which point Matthau said to his wife, "See what you did. You ruined my trip to Dachau!"

I thought that first pic looked familiar as I've seen the Danzig one before (in Eerie Von's photo book I believe). So you were copying his pose? Nice!

Did you ask permission to jump the fence for your picture or just go for it?

It was the last part of Graceland so I figured fuck it, if we get tossed we are done anyway, but someone else went over to put some shit on his grave and all hell broke loose. So I just knelt in the grass and photoshopped that onto one of the photos I took when I got home.

Some guy bought the car Bonnie and Clyde were gunned down in and used to take it around the country on tour. Saw it when I was a kid. The seats were covered with dry blood. Bonnie's blood stained sweater was still laying in the front seat. Morgue photos of their bullet ridden bodies were also on display. Now that's morbid. The photo of JFK dead, his eyes open, is pretty fucking morbid also.

The sensational and graphic pictures of the Black Dahlia murder were morbid and beyond creepy. Probably the darkest murder scene that I would ever care to see. Can't be erased from memory.
