Just a reminder: I keep “Caught Dead In That” pretty tightly focused on interesting and unusual gravestones. If you want to witness my weird sense of humor on other topics as well, you might want to follow me on Twitter.

“When the end comes, I know— they’ll say just a gigolo. Life goes on without me.”

(For all you kids who think David Lee Roth invented this song: this is the grave of the great Louis Prima, who had a huge hit with it in 1956.)

Weirdly, the cover of my book seems to have become a meme.

This is a miniature version of Wrigley Field, built in the jungles of Thailand by an expat Chicago Cubs fan named Steve Hirschtick. The words on the sign are a memorial to his late parents.

One more off-topic post, and then it’s back to tombstones for the next six months. I promise.

I wrote a book that comes out today. It’s a parody of pregnancy and parenting books, and it’s called How Not To Kill Your Baby.

Here’s a sample. It’s the official How Not To Kill Your Baby Growth Chart Of Doom. Sure, you could get a regular growth chart— but would it tell you if your baby was big enough to survive an encounter with a capybara? I think not.
