Is there something wrong with me?

I want to see a corpse. someone posted that a person died on a train and no one noticed until he started turning pale. He took a pic of the train and the police were blocking the corpse... I could only see the arm behind the cop. Is there something wrong with me or am I just curious?

    Nah, that morbid curiosity is pretty common. Vsauce did a video on it:

    As long as you don't go around creating corpses in order to satisfy your curiosity, that is.... D:

    So do I. So if you're weird then I'm weird too. :)

    I had a friend in another site who got a job as an intern in a morgue so she could see dead people.

    No.. nothing wrong with you. Its just curiosity..

    I will say when I first saw a dead body, it was upsetting and unpleasant.... that varies on the cause of death.. some look worse than others.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with you, I think you are just curious. One of my favourite singers, the late great Vivian Stanshall, once witnessed a man dying of a heart attack on a bus, and that inspired him to write a song about it. The song (entitled "Flung A Dummy", an obscure slang phrase meaning "died"), can be found on Vivian's finest album "Teddy Boys Don't Knit".

    If you don't already have that album in your collection, I strongly recommend that you buy it the very next time you see it on CD. I first bought it on vinyl exactly 31 years ago last Thursday and on CD exactly 10 years next Friday. It's a definite Desert Island Disc if ever there was one. :)
