    I’m a mortician and all we have been talking about is how shit of a job they did. We call those pancake hands because they’re flat. They’re also hovering, which is why they look so unnatural. They didn’t use any dye, which is why he’s that horrible color. It’s called formaldehyde gray. I guess maybe dye is left out for some religious reason? But there is absolutely no excuse for those hands.

    We all assume it was done by some old guy who only does embalmings once every 10 years, or however often a Pope is dying.
