How can I fear something when I wont be there to know how bad it is?

I have already downloaded my consciousness onto my PDA, and am working on a robot to upload it into. I figure that way I can live forever.

See how ridiculous that sounds?

Just because pie in the sky by and by when you die sounds nice doesn't mean it's not absurd.

I must say that this quote exhibits a perfect example of a Holy Roller being out of touch with everyday life.

I was going to talk about all the good things that happen before death and explain why it was such a beautiful day today in every sense of the word, but David, as usual, gave a much clearer, and more concise, answer.

In life they are topless and in death they are bottomless but then it is too late to checkraise.
