Basically after I die it'll be like before I was born... I just don't know anything about that!

I like to think of it as more of a beginning of life rather than ending of life... There's an immense amount of life born the second I die, simply because my decaying organism provides the necessary ground for it to flourish. My decaying is just life reorganizing, my death is itself an expression of life, and at least if I was old then it is life starting anew, fresh and improved. I guess that's how I perceive Buddhist rebirth...

Wow, a chance to have something other than broccoli or cauliflower for a change! Let me know if you ever go paragliding, bull-riding or free rock climbing ;o)
