It is just nice to know, that, no matter how things go to shit, there's a few things we can rely upon.

I will now enjoy imagining Dalí's mustache surviving the destruction of the earth, the guttering out of the sun, and even the heat death of the universe. In the end, there will only be the mustache, floating serenely in the void.

An unguessable number of eons later, CREATION!

if I remember my folklore, this means that Salvador Dali's mustache is a vampire.

Sounds about right.

His moustache was in excellent shape, but his pocket watch apparently had melted.

I was going to point out that the moustache was the only thing of Dali's that HADN'T melted.

Dali's body being dug up just seems so, like, I don'y know, real but also kind of, you know, off?

Given he was a surrealist, I think he'd dig it.

I'm very disappointed that this isn't an art installation.

Most surrealist touch: To guard the artist’s posthumous privacy, awnings were put up around the museum to stop drones recording the exhumation.

Officials were pleased to discover the moustache intact as it had last been seen riding a flaming giraffe.
