A more poetic way to say someone is dead. Term comes from the practice of digging down six feet below the surface to place coffins.

The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).

Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”

There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.

A offbeat HBO series about the Fishers, a dysfunctional undertaker family in Los Angeles. It's easily one of the best shows TV has to offer. The writing and acting is not only fantastic, but the show has many different moods; it can be sad, quirky, touching and sometimes hilarious.

A black comedy/drama program on HBO (Home Box Office). It centers on the Fisher Family who own an operate a funeral home in California following the death of the family patriarch Nathaniel Fisher in the first episode. Although dead, he frequently comes back to talk to each member of the family. In the family are the mother Ruth with sons Nate, David and daughter Claire.

An unbelieveable show with beatifully real and intricate characters. Funny, touching, brilliant. Further evidence that HBO is invincible.

1. Term used for someone's well-being if they are dead.

2. Decent Death Metal band formed in the mid 80's.

Excellent and an original-for-its-time death metal band created in the mid 80s by Chris Barnes, ex-vocalist from Cannibal Corpse. Their music is more slow-placed (for a death metal group) and the cookie monster vocals are pretty understandable- which is pretty rare from such a group.
