I wanna blow myself up at a large gathering of rich people. My body bits would hopefully end up as food for lil critters. I'd have someone take my picture at the last second to capture my happiest moment.

Why I always thought that deep down a real Christian is just a Muslim suicide bombers born into the wrong society. Angel

Hopefully that somewhere if it exists is a universe where atoms have been unable to form as a result of some intrinsic value of that universe being different from ours, so the universe will be filled only with raw energy. My body and its container will dissolve into this stream of energy and if I am lucky my conciousness might somehow become a part of this new network of energy allowing me to become as a god.

You know that idea is complete bullshit right? Your consciousness is contingent upon meaningful structures of matter, a black hole would utterly destroy all meaningful structure, even if it went anywhere, 'you' would be gone.

That's what Hunter S. Thompson had done with his body.
What I want done is to be cremated, and have my ashes turned into a large block.

Whatever the powers that be decide. I will be dead, it won't really matter.

But I am an organ donor. I carry a little card from the Australian Organ Donor Register in my wallet.

Whatever use they find to my dead body is ok by me... I'll be no more, so I couldn't possibly care less. Organ donation is a nice thing, though I think my organs wouldn't be that good for a receiver. Tongue

I voted cremation. However I would like my corpse to be shrunk and swallowed by a really hot lass. Wow!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

I want to made into a projectile and fired at the ground so I'll finally make some impact on the world.
either that or be cremated and have the ashes thrown into the face of he last person to piss me off.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Good one! I'm stealing this and putting it into my final wishes!

Thanks!

Prior to reading this thread, the plan was for any of my organs that I haven't completely destroyed to be donated and then what's left of me to be cremated and scattered somewhere in my home town. Now, however, I want the firework treatment that was mentioned here, ideally launched from the beach in my home city. That is an amazing way to be sent off.
