in the song 'from yesterday' by 30 seconds to mars, in the video does anyone know why the guy put a grape or something in what looked like a dead chinse / japense or something (not being racist) queen or king? still a great song tho in my opinion
The item being placed in the dead Empress's mouth was a black pearl. I have read about this in a couple of chinese history books but cannot remember why they do it, I'm afraid. Now you know it's a pearl you could try googling for it.
