pinochet.jpgThe Chilean dictator formally known as Augusto Pinochet orginally didn’t want to be cremated since it went against his “Christian” beliefs. He decided to go for cremation instead of a memorial for himself because of concerns of his tomb being bombed and to avoid problems for his family and the nation of Chile.

Well wasn’t that thoughtful of him?
