What happens when you die?

The part about me being stuffed so I can entertain children or the part about me having expansion slots in my skull? That damned Asimov. Always one step ahead of me.

Lindal - wouldn't it be cool if we could just DL to SL when we dies and run around there? I really don't want to die. Being alive is a lot of fun. But if I have to go, it would be pretty fun to wind up in SL where my living friends could log on and visit.

Of course, I would only last about 10 minutes, then I would crash and how on earth would I relog?

The once funny experience of having my shoes up my butt suddenly turned into a grim perspective...

In Foundation an old man recorded his thoughts in hologram form and once every . .. . something the children and others would gather around and listen to the old man talk. He had a science of history or future history where he more or less acurately predicted the future out until the series starts (well, not including the prequels where in the guy was alive and running around).

In that series the Robots of the Empire Series, the Robot series and "I,Robot" also turn up. These may or may not have had expansion slots in their skulls.

Oh and you would not be able to relog. Your afterlife will consist of ten minutes. Ten minutes of lag and waiting for the grey shapes to rez. Ten minutes of being naked, bald and all your attachments sholved up your . . .. And then you will be no more.

Geez Lexxi, what a grim picture of the SAL (SecondAfterLife).

Couldn't we just send evildoers to Felonhall? :X

Ooooh now THAT's a good idea! Just think, LL could get into the "Life Preserver" business. "Dying? You don't have to end the fun. Upload your brain to Second Life! Live forever! Put an end to death! Party through eternity with Second Life."

Sign me up. The entire content of my brain shouldn't take up much storage room. There really isn't too much there. Just make sure to upload it before the Alzheimers kicks in.

I'll finally be able to dance!!

And just as you are hooked up and ready...."Despite our best efforts, something has gone wrong...." I'll pass. I'd rather the Soylent Green treatment.

And I'll never have to diet again. Wouldn't it be great, once you've lived your life, are 95 and missing your teeth and are gray and wrinkled, have seen your kids and grandkids, to sell your soul to Linden Lab and be eternal? You could be young and beautiful, old and gray, a furry, a dragon, whatever, any day you wanted? Sweet. I'd do it.

[Edit: Brenda, you can still do Soylent Green. Your brain is in SL. Your body? Who cares? Chop it up, bury it, burn it, it doesn't matter.]

Maybe by the time we're 95 they'll have worked out some of the damned bugs and fixed the grid.

But I agree. I'm pretty sure with some of the crap I've pulled in my life, my final destination is going to be a little hotter than SL, so this may be my only hope for an enjoyable afterlife.

I'd like a Soylent Brenda sandwich with a pickle on the side and some potato chips. Hold the mayo.

Well ,untill LL figures out a way to process payments and Linden purchases without messing it up, they ain't hooking my brain up to anything. God knows who where I could wind up.

Besides the idea of living after death creeps me out. I want to rest peacefully when the time comes.

Be kind to everyone, and live your life well, because if you piss anyone off in this life, they could steal your stuffed MP3 playing self and turn you into a novelty toilet.

Back to the original question. When you die, you go to to a strange land where things are all gray, and everything moves in slow motion. In other words, when you die, nothing happens.

How weird would it be? Can you imagine, you're bopping around SL, maybe making sexies with someone, and you find out that the person is actually your great-great-great-grandson?

Or you're hanging around the Forum Hangout and your RL daughter pops in and say "Oh hey, Mom, we're all arguing about what to do with your body. You didn't specify in your will. You want it cremated or buried? And can I have the china set?"

If you currently have children, I hope you've informed them of this choice? Or at least your lawyer. Someone has to oversee the funds to oversee you in your afterlife, um......life.

STOP IT!Stand Back, ye of the UnDead!

I've got it covered. I've stored my...um...you know...well, anyway, it's in the freezer downstairs and I'll be making children for hundreds of years. The next generation of Trouts runs from now until the well runs dry! Three hundred years from now my son will be able to sit on my lap and listen to me talk about fishing. There's nothing quite as special as the bond between a father and his boy.

This next generation will be known throughout history as the Trout Dynastic Period and peace will reign through the land. Except in Iraq or any other third world craphole that looks at us funny. They get blown up. And the pottery won't be as nice as the Ming Dynastic Period. I eat off of paper plates or I pull a chair right up to the fridge, mostly.

As far as lawyers go, I've told all of them. I put a general memo out to the state bar association membership so that no matter who ends up probating my estate, they will be on notice that a trust needs to be set up and the taxidermist contacted immediately.

hahaha....can't even breathe....hahaha...this is hysterical!

When I die I want to be cremated...


and have my ashes spread on Sarah Chalke.

What if you get fleas while you're sitting in that chair year after year? All the good little Trouts will get up from story time scratching. That's no fun.

So you want to be Chalke Dust?

Flea collar. Besides, why would I get fleas - they have nothing to suck out of me. If I get fleas it's because the hopped off the little blighters who climb into my lap for storytime. I'm more likely to get moths.

You should see us two in RL. Gotta be careful I don't shoot him in RL.....
Well if I DO, accidentally of course, I'll send Raynor to Trout's taxidermist.

Have I mentioned she bought a catapult recently ...?

Oh, get a Bunker, You Two.

Not quite true. I BUILT one, and it's non-functioning but looking cool. A little kiddie slingshot.


@Brenda: Oh, we're about to do that as we decided, against common sense and VAT, to buy some more land.....

I plan on having a viking funeral on a burning ship. If I ever get back into SL I will arrange a practice run for everyone to attend.
