I am totally on board with two out of three of these methods. Shouldn't be too difficult to figure out which one I would not volunteer for.

I suspect the sokushinbutsu diet is paleo. ;)

It is things like this that make me think that if I had school to do over, I'd go for archeology. I did not know about the monks.. fascinating!
