scorpion mummy

I had a pet scorpion and she died a few days ago :(
So now I am left with a dead scorpion body.. (she was my little baby :( )
So, what do you say I mummify the body?

sounds like a poindexter idea to me :S2:

What is "poindexter"?

you:S2:

I'm confused... ? But by the way... the inside of a scorpion is really gross..

Actually scorpions stingers cannot sting themeselves, they just can't reach far enough. But even if the could, scorpions are immune to there own venom.

I removed all of the insides that I could, now the body is covered in salt.

why would you want to mumify the body? do you even know what mumifying a body is???

Of course I know what mumifiying is, it's preserving a dead body. I just threw the scorpion out the window... it was getting too messy and I was starting to feel bad about it.. like disrespectfull to the dead or something... and she was my baby scorpion.. I loved her.

So... I'm curious... Aside from the occasional love tap with her stinger or maybe crawling around your bed in circles, what affection did this thing possibly give?
Besides from being alive, and being afraid, what could it possibly do to show that it actually liked you or noticed your affection?

Oh, I'm sure the scorpion didn't love me back, but I loved her. I loved to watch her eat crickets, and scurry around in her cage. She was such a nice little scorpion... I remember when I got her... My mom was so pissed at me for buying a pet scorpion, lol.

You should check out those humongous milipedes.
From the rainforest.
Lovely.

Mummifying a body is to preserve their body for the after life!!!

which is spent... in a coffin...

I sent a dead scorpion to a girlfriend once in the mail. It was a gift.

Yes but that doesn't mean anything...it's more symbolic ya know? Like Khafra statues..it is a statue so that after the person dies..their spirit has a place...

I dunno...egyption stuff is crazy to me....

My mistake..I meant KA statue.

Khafra was a king I believe...that had a ka statue of course! Out of Diorite!!!
