Also I bet there are stories about people trying to get a glance at that list. I remember earlier this year, wakanomori telling me about a Thomas Hardy short story, based on Dorset legend, about people on Halloween watching a churchyard--the shades of all the people of the village go in and then come out, but the ones that don't come out are the ones that will die in the coming year.
I love how elements of mythology live on into current legends and stories. (Now I'm back to talking about the Greek stuff). The notion of Charon as too thirsty....
But yeah, the guy was a plonker for his crass insensitivity. Jerk.
Edited to protect the innocent and also because I wasn't at my most articulate when I left the comment originally.
