Jeremy Bentham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Auto-icon)


  As requested in his will, his body was preserved and stored in a wooden cabinet, termed his “Auto-icon”. Originally kept by his disciple Dr. Southwood Smith, it was acquired by University College London in 1850. The Auto-icon is kept on public display at the end of the South Cloisters in the main building of the College. For the 100th and 150th anniversaries of the college, the Auto-icon was brought to the meeting of the College Council, where he was listed as “present but not voting”. Tradition holds that if the council’s vote on any motion is tied, the auto-icon always breaks the tie by voting in favour of the motion.

Oh, Dobby: let me chew on your weird hair.

End to end, a wildly cobbler episode. (Yeah, it’s better if you’ve been following the arc, but it’s still gold)

Below in three parts.
