Celebrity Ashes

Most of you probably don't know the name of Dr. Frederic J. Baur, of Cincinnati, Ohio. But you know of his work.

He invented the Pringles Potato Chip Can.

By now, most of you are aware of the fact that he was so proud of his accomplishment, he had some of his cremated remains buried in a Pringle's Can.

Here's a few other fitting and, umm, ironic places for people to be buried.
