I'd actually rather have my body just left out in the desert someplace for
the coyotes, ravens and vultures.


I'd prefer medical science or art for mine. Burning seems a bit
wasteful, but the idea of taking up a hole in the ground for a century
of five strikes me as utterly absurd. Being eaten by wildlife seems a
bit of a waste too.

I like the idea of some more permanent memorial (physical or in the
collective memory) but I figure I'm going to have to do something
special to justify that (primarily to myself).
