The skeleton of a portly figure

Anyone want to conjecture on how they know this.

Anyone know how long you have to be in the ground before grave robbing becomes science? Anthropologists love to dig up dead people and steal all their stuff.

I would like to know how long one has to be in the ground before one of his/her bones or other stuff become altar relics in the Catholic Church.

You read my mind. I was going to ask what the over under was on being uncovered, or dug up.

Exactly. They should have some respect for the dead. He’s a dead abbot who was resting in peace. That’s all we need to know.

“Anyone want to conjecture on how they know this. “

I believe curvature of the spine was mentioned yesterday.

I’ve got to learn to read more. Here’s what the article said about the Abbot being fat:

The curvature of the spine suggests he was obese and perhaps suffering from type-2 diabetes.

That is possibly confirmed by the position of his arms, which lie flanked around his girth rather than crossed over his chest.
