My only wish is that my perverted best friend is not allowed to be alone with my body.
Unfortunately since I have no family hes the one in charge of my "Estate"

Actually I think it'd be pretty cool if my body was used in some sort of horrific prank.

Either way as long as I'm %100 dead I dont care.

Used to I read a piece about how wolves bury meat in the winter and dig it up to feed thier pups in the spring, I think that has a nice circle of life quality toit.

Regardless of how I go, I want to die with my boots on. Be it in a fiery explosion of metal and jet fuel, or vaporization on a failed atmospheric re-entry, or something along those lines... hopefully there won't be any pieces left over for them to bury. As long as I find my last moments in the eternal skies, I'll be all right.

If there are any pieces left over, I have given specific instructions as to where they are to be buried. Only my brother knows.

Donate any bits which could possibly help anyone else.

Then bury me in a see-through green perspex coffin.

Or, alternatively:

Donate any bits which could possibly help anyone else.

Then do whatever it is that might give comfort to whomever is left behind who loves me - if there is anyone left behind who loves me.

I guess if I can't be buried in my solid gold pyramid surrounded by my minions, then I'd say Viking Style!! Yah... you betcha!

I'll be cremated. It'd be nice to think I'd end up spread over someplace nice, and maybe some of the ashes get sent into orbit, but I'll probably just end up knocked over by the dog and vacuumed into the dyson.....
