    Default The eternal hug

    Have you all seen this picture from today's headlines?


    "A pair of human skeletons lie in an eternal embrace at an Neolithic archaeological dig site near Mantova, Italy, in this photo released February 6, 2007. Archaeologists in northern Italy believe the couple was buried 5,000-6,000 years ago, their arms still wrapped around each other in a hug that has lasted millennia. REUTERS/Enrico Pajello/Handout (ITALY)."

    It think it is one of the most touching things I have seen. And it brought to mind a question: since we all must face this some day, do you prefer to be buried or cremated (or perhaps cryonics)?

    whatever if fine - no preference.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    I want to be sold on ebay to the highest bidder.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    cremation is fine, but I kinda morbidly like the idea of either an eBay or Craigslist bidding war!
