Random Thought for Thursday 10/30/14

CORRECTION (of sorts):  Two weeks ago, whilst ruminating on death, I had announced via this blog and Facebook that, if I perished, I wanted to be cremated and sprinkled in the bodies of water near which I've lived (Quittie, Susquehanna, Lake Michigan, Atlantic Ocean and the Rhine River) UNLESS I died by drowning, as then I had deemed that ending kind of cruel.

However, now I'm having second thoughts.

Why?  Because I discovered that there are companies that will create QR codes to be added to your gravestone so that passers-by can use their smart phones to scan the plaque to be redirected to whatever you want them to see on the interwebs ... which sounds as close to eternal life as one can get without having to hedge your bets that "being born again" is the correct post-death response out of all the religions in the world.

With the creation of those magic bar code like image, I can live forever!  Bwa-ha-ha!  Time to go update the will!
