Do they come with rice? And dead bodies? |

When I was a kid and certain events were capturing the
attention of the world, I came up with a scheme to spray-
paint graffiti on chunks of concrete, bust them up with a
hammer, and sell them as 'genuine pieces of the Berlin
Wall'. My parents put the kibosh on it, of course. |
|
| |
Years later, I learned that several European 'entrepenuers'
had been arrested for doing the same thing. |
|
| |
You could always sell them as 'Berlin Wall memorabilia' without exactly specifying that they were genuine. |

This is somewhat akin to my method for smuggling myself out of afghanistan. I have been sending myself, (a couple hundred epithelial skin cells at a time), back to Mrs. MikeD in our correspondance. It's kind of like the analogue version of a teleporter. |

I'm trying to imagine how your skin cells measure up
to a base block from a pyramid. |

This is an excellent and consistent idea: if you want to obtain the final result, you really have to build a huge collectors' dynasty that spans a good chunk of history. This means you have to make loads of kids to start with, to ensure enough of your genetic material is out there. But you also need a strict succession mechanism, that clearly traces its line back to you. |

By the time the last generation has finally reached the objective, and your cryogenically stored body is revealed, you will be seen as the arch father, the über god, who started it all. And they will gladly build your tomb. And that of your many wives. You deserved eternal peace, and you obtained it. |
