Where would you like to be laid to rest?

[abweichend]

What would you like to be done with your body postmortem? I'm not going to put a poll up because there are so many different choices.

Ideally, I would like to be shipped off to Tibet and be disposed of in a sky burial. It represents the circle of nature to me and is probably a very useful way of disposing of a body.

Since that would most likely not happen, I will probably donate my body to science and have any useful organs donated to be used as transplants. Burial and cremation just seem like a waste. I don't think I would want a big funeral. Maybe just a small secular get-together for the people who knew me.

INTPc is very morbid today. This must be the 4th or 5th thread about death today.

[rhinosaur]

I've thought about this before.

Ideally, I would die in the wilderness and my body would never be found.
If that doesn't happen, I'd like someone to just throw my body in the woods someplace, to be eaten by animals, insects, and the rain.

In my bed in about fifteen minutes from now. When I cant get their on my own it will no longer matter.

My beloved Pittsburgh.

(No, I'm not kidding.)

Donate my remains to necrophiliacs.

I really don't care too much. Personally, I don't plan on dying so...

Venice. Or an urn.

Failing that would you like to be placed into a large mock-up of the Deathstar?

Though it would be awesome to be in control of such a device, I would require an automated robot factory to be included in those pans--finding the hundreds of thousands of midgets (if we're doing a scaled mock-up) required to perform regular maintenance on my subsystems would be difficult. And taking care to provide them with food and occasional shore leave would probably be impossible. I'd have way too many mini-planets to blow up and too much exploring to do.

I'm not even responsible enough to keep a pet!

yes but you could hire someone to run the Death Star whilst you make major decisions. You know, like BP-except the Death Star is named correctly.

Yes, but the leader of the lollipop guild union would still be concerned with trivialities such as "resupply" and "troop morale". Even if I could find the mythical midget-planet, selecting, capturing, and training new engineers and technical crews would get in the way of my freedom to enjoy the universe.

Don't you mock me! Even if my metal spheroid body was only the size of a tiny moon, my superweapon would still be enough to lay your precious Texas to waste!

Hire a temp agency.

Hire a temp agency.
Does the posession of a mini Death Star body imply unlimited funds?

Threats of planetary destruction, aside from being something I'd be disgusted with myself for, would likely produce generations of saboteurs or crappy workers.

Robotic maintenance units would be best. All my crew concerns would involve strip mining asteroids. Much better than the purchase and storage of bulk rations, new workers, and hearing personnel reports. It would detract significantly from the exploration and adventure aspect.

Good points. Get to work on it.
