BURIEDatSEA

So, if you're referring to Indonesia, how many burials at sea are they known for? (discounting the scattering of cremated ashes)

We're talking only whole bodies, dunked in the drink.

I'm going to ball park it at less than 10%, probably dialing in at perhaps 1%, or at most 2%.

Don't forget the cuckoo clock perpetually parroting the line:

  > ...bin Laden’s burial at sea 
    (carried out in accordance with "Islamic custom"!)

Yes! Yes! Of course! Naval traditions are the first thing that springs to mind, about a religion born of a region mostly known for its deserts, and not very much at all for naval conquest.

But go ahead, someone correct me, with some obscure technicality about the ways of Islam and The Sea. What do I know, land lubber that I am?
