1. My first reaction was "WTF? Why are they digging him up just to see his moustache?"

Then I read the article... paternity suit... OK, I guess that's OK then.

Not.

But I suspect his moustache had so much wax and toxic black dye in it that it's almost plastic and will never degrade.

2. I think the paternity suit is regarding a lot of money.

3. Since it's Dali,...

I was kind of hoping that the only thing they'd find intact would be his mustache.


...except maybe, a grapefruit, some ants, and a flaming giraffe.
