        I am already making progress in preserving my body for medical science - by the time I pop my clogs, my liver should be fairly well pickled :biggrin:

          That's a fair point. Surely nobody can preserve their body for medical science. Surely by the time you stop using it yourself, it's pretty much knackered, the exact opposite of preserved.

            Ah, but in the name of science, surely that remains to be proven?

                I don't need a mirror.

                It occurs to me that mother nature might have been kind in making older people gradually lose their hearing. It means I might one day once again be able to move without hearing any joints click.

                  I plan to be ashes.

                  However I wouldn't mind a little poster. Pulvis et Nihil.

                  :)

                  As you have put your first sentence in there I think it would be better represented by Pulvis Cinis et Nihil. :dbgrtmb: :snork:

                  'Help! Let me out - I haven't finished!!' Anyone on here read Edgar Allan Poe's story about catalepsy? I'm going to be buried with a saw, a screwdriver and a spade.......:yes:

                    @noisette47 Why not have what they used to have - a bell fixed to the coffin. You could have a modern version that is wired to a bell on top of the gravestone and a few packs of spare batteries put in with you. Or, how about a mobile phone and spare batteries.

                      Nope, it was a direct quote from an Edgar Wallace story, Sanders of the River. Correction not valid here :)

                        Sorry, I was taking it literally as you said 'I plan to be ashes'. :noidea: :love30:

                        Pulvis means dust and Nihil means nothing. Whereas the full saying means 'dust, ashes and nothing' with Cinis meaning ashes :)

                        Sanders of the River - great books and film. Here Bosambo sings this song to the river and 'Sandy' (Sanders).

                        Edgar Wallace :dbgrtmb:

                          You'll need an oxygen supply and a co2 scrubber too.

                          This was covered in a TV programme I saw. It might have been mythbusters, it might not. I can't remember but it was an entertainment/documentary type programme.

                          In a coffin, even if you fully relax and meditate, you'll have less than an hour before you suffocate. At full on panic level of exertion, 3 minutes max I think they estimated.
