Yeah, that's not creepy AT ALL!
There's a proposal over in England to heat the local swimming pool using the excess heat from the local crematorium.
The facility's cremators dispatch the departed into the hereafter at 800°C, the Telegraph notes, and that heat is lost to the heavens.
By tapping into the crematorium, the council stands to save £14,500 annually on its heating costs.
Council leader Carole Gandy said of the pragmatic proposal: "I'd much rather use the energy rather than just see it going out of the chimney and heating the sky. It will make absolutely no difference to the people who are using the crematorium for services.
"I do recognise some people might not like it, but if they don't they don't have to use our crematorium. I wouldn't want them to do that but they have to make that choice.
