Ashes on Eagles' Field

If you want to spread some of your mother's ashes on a football field, it's best not to run onto the field during a game with a stadium full of people and dump the fine powder from a plastic bag. Christopher Noteboom of Tempe, Arizona did just that during Sunday's game, Philadelphia Eagles against the Green Bay Packers. When he reached the 30 yard line, he dropped to his knees, made the sign of the cross and laid down on his stomach. He was arrested for defiant trespass and he'll be lucky if that's all.

People, spread the ashes of your loved ones discreetly, especially in public places. Just a little bit is enough. The last thing you want is people panicking because they think you are a terrorist.
