THE BOSS
so im home for spring break and just relaxing. its nice for once. my laptop is all fucked so i havent had more chances to update but i saw this on my brothers computer and just had to post it.
On 1988, july 23, Bruce Springsteen skipped a VIP-arrangement during his tour in Denmark and took a walk down the street. There he met the street musician John Magnusson and asked him if he could borrow one of his guitars. Apparently they played a few songs together while about 50 people stopped around and listened to the music.
that guy just rules. he plays the river by the way, if you dont want to watch it.

gnarly shit

The Capuchin Crypt is a room located beneath the church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini on the Via Veneto near Piazza Barberini in Rome, Italy.It is the final resting place for over 4,000 Capuchin monks, who died between 1528 and 1870, as well as several poor Romans. The soil in the crypt was brought from Jerusalem. Large numbers of the bones are nailed to the walls in intricate patterns, many are piled high among countless others, some hang from the ceiling as working light fixtures. There are six total rooms in the crypt, all but one featuring a unique display of human bones.
The first room, the Crypt of the Resurrection, features a picture of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. The second room, the Mass Chapel, is an area used to celebrate Mass, and as such does not contain bones.
In the altar-piece, Jesus and Mary exhort St. Felix of Cantalice, St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Anthony of Padua to free souls from Purgatory. The heart of Maria Felice Peretti, the grand-niece of Pope Sixtus V, is also preserved in this room. The third, fourth, and fifth rooms are, respectively, the Crypt of the Skulls, the Crypt of the Pelvises, and the Crypt of the Leg Bones and Thigh Bones. In the last room of the crypt, the Crypt of the Three Skeletons, a placard in five languages declares "What you are now we used to be, what we are now you will be."
Palermo's Capuchin monastery outgrew its original cemetery in the 16th century and monks begun to excavate crypts below it. In the 1599 they mummified one of their number, recently-dead brother Silvestro of Gubbio, and placed him into the catacombs.
The bodies were dehydrated on the racks of ceramic pipes in the catacombs and sometimes later washed with vinegar. Some of the bodies were embalmed and others enclosed in sealed glass cabinets. Monks were preserved with their everyday clothing and sometimes with ropes they had worn as a penance.
Originally the catacombs were intended only for the dead friars. However, in the following centuries it became a status symbol to be entombed into the capuchin catacombs. In their wills, local luminaries would ask to be preserved in certain clothes, or even to have their clothes changed at regular intervals. Priests wore their clerical vestments, others were clothed according to the contemporary fashion. Relatives would visit to pray for the deceased and also to maintain the body in presentable condition. The catacombs were maintained through the donations of the relatives of the deceased. Each new body was placed in a temporary niche and later placed into a more permanent place. As long as the contributions continued, the body remained in its proper place but when the relatives did not send money any more, the body was put aside on a shelf until they continued to pay.

The last friar interred into the catacombs was Brother Riccardo in 1871 but other famous people were still interred. The catacombs were officially closed for use in 1880 but tourists continued to visit them. However,

the last burials are from the 1920s. One of the very last to be interred was Rosalia Lombardo, then two years old, whose body is still remarkably intact, preserved with a procedure now lost: the embalmer, Professor Alfredo Salafia took his method with him to his grave.
The catacombs contain about 8000 mummies that line the walls. The halls are divided into categories: Men, Women, Virgins, Children, Priests, Monks, and Professionals. Some bodies are better preserved than others.
Famous people buried in the catacombs include:
* Colonel Enea DiGuiliano (in French Bourbon uniform)
* Salvatore Manzella, surgeon
* Lorenzo Marabitti, sculptor
* Filipo Pennino, sculptor
* Son of a king of Tunis who had converted to Catholicism
* Allegedly Velasquez, Spanish painter, although his grave is officially unknown
* Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa is sometimes said to be buried in the catacombs, but he is buried in the cemetery next to them.
The catacombs are open to the public. Taking photographs inside is prohibited although the bodies were shown in detail in the fourth episode of the 2006 BBC TV series Francesco's Italy: Top to Toe.
Also, iron grills have been installed to prevent tourists tampering or posing with the corpses.
