An eccentric Brazilian tycoon known as Count Scarpa is busy today preparing to bury his $500,000 Bentley so he can drive it in the afterlife. After watching a television show about Egyptian Pharaohs, Count Scarpa rented a bulldozer and started digging a hole in his garden for the prized vehicle. But wait, does Scarpa also intend to be buried in the back yard? The Pharoahs' whole system was to be entombed with their possessions. Someone needs to tell Count Cuckoo that his plan may not work otherwise.
Among Chiquinho Scarpa's other achievements, he owns a bird with her own business cards and escaped death after he contracted deadly bacteria and slipped into a coma. His condition was so serious that a priest came in and anointed him for the Last Rites - twice.
The brush with death may have inspired the Count's new preoccupation with the afterlife. But if he wants to be like the Pharoahs, I'm afraid one car isn't going to cut it. Egyptian Pharoahs were buried with everything they could possibly need once they crossed over, including servants, pets and a toilet. The tomb of Tutankhamun, who was just a minor ruler, contained over 3,500 items. So the Count better get to work.
