My goodness!
I wonder where he had been buried before they re interred him?

Well, you can, but not necessarily in the same place

Actually they had him all the time, just didn't know it till a couple of years ago. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27822929/

So they were just putting him back with the recognition he deserves.

Thank goodness his remains were not cremated.
That would be in very bad taste....

Yep, they still think his views are heretical...they still like to think they're the centre of all creation

Why bother, after all this time there's not much left to cremate.

So they would have had to make the stake a bit bigger to compensate
