    Mexicans clean their relatives dead bones today (pic)

    If you need me today, I'll be digging up my grandfather and cleaning his bones.

In this small village , the last days of October are devoted to cleaning the bones: dusting, polishing, scrubbing and rearranging the skeletal remains of family members in time for the Day of the Dead, when Mexicans welcome the souls of the dearly departed back to earth.(AP Photo/Jaime Puebla)

              they should try cleaning their own houses and streets before they worry about the bones

                  Harmon,

                  I totally agree with you. WHY? I live down here in Central Mexico.

                  The oddest part of today is to drive past a cemetary and see the carnival rides that have been set up and all the families with dinner spreads on top of the graves, chowing down.

                  A strange culture, indeed.

                      The second time the dog bites you, it's not his fault.
