Again, the rituals around death have already been shown to be
inconsistently depicted (see "ak'voh," the practice of guarding a body over
night so that the spirit might leave it in peace -- also performed by
Worf). So who knows.

Also, did you know that the Taj Mahal is flanked by two identical,
mirroring mosques that just aren't shown in most pictures? (reference:
http://www.blankinship-web.com/sabbatical01/India/Taj_Mahal/taj-1.jpg). I
just think that's cool.
