Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for March 14, 2025

Yet another nightmare for future generations to have to deal with. QR codes on headstones. Oh my!

Sounds like a great premise for a horror movie: scan the QR code, and you have seven days to live . . . unless you get some other hapless soul to scan the code. It makes me happy I don’t own a smart phone.

In some cases i have seen QR-codes on a gravestone in germany.

I scanned it. It says, “KEEP OFF THE GRASS!”.

Sorry, that info shall remain unread. I don’t do QRs.

Maybe a passing fad for the passed away.

Mine says “Jabberwocky, ’twas brillig”

Hopefully it’s not a code for a zombie restaurant menu!

Oh, do it! What could possible go wrong?

I rarely swipe QR codes, because I have yet to figure out the logic behind them.

Probably just a plot line.

Just like she said…come on down and see me sometime….

I got curious and scanned the code. It’s text – “’Twas brillig”.

Feel free to “down low”ed.

That code just takes you to the cemetery website where you can buy flowers

The Ring: QR Code Edition

It has to be mighty expensive to carve one of those things into a headstone.

Why would anyone want to?

What does RIP mean in this instance?

Another example of people not accepting death as a final end…

It will probably be an ad about extended warranties.

So scan it, honey.

Gotta watch out for those slithy toves…

Don’t do it! Might open a portal to the underworld!!
