You <i>can</i> take it with you

Putting a twist on an ancient Egyptian tradition, a Russian man plans to make his afterlife more comfy by taking along his most prized possessions: his collection of porn magazines.
 
Vladimir Villisov decided to have a special coffin made after he survived a heart attack and realized how important his skin mags were to him.

"The girls in those magazines have been my companions for years, and I want them to accompany me to the next life," the unmarried 65-year-old told Ananova. The pensioner says he sometimes lies in his red satin-lined coffin to read his mags.  Pack a flashlight, Vlad.
