I like chocolate.

Did you know chocolate is both good and bad for you?

Chocolate has some of the same effects as marijuana. But it can also prevent chronic heart disease.

caffeine causes cancer. but coffee is sooooooo good!

does coffee have the same addictive qualities as marajuana? I will have to do some research on that.

I don't know if it does. They say that coffee helps prevent diabetes.

They said something similar about tobacco curing all illness in the 1500's

Da Vinci had made some of the greatest technological things in history! Like starting the blueprint for the flying machine, which was accredited to the Wright Brothers.

Yes I know. But we still have more advanced techologically than we were then.

Shall we continue this debate in messenger? Because I think some people are tired of the endless debate.

We may be more advance than the Renaissance era, but the aliens definitely surpass us.

Some taint.
Some make blue.
Some add spice,
And some are "glue".

Together we stand,
but divided we fly.
But maybe the opposite
in each other's eye.

I can't take credit for that. 'tis the brilliant Bill Hicks (RIP) who said that many moons ago.

I just got an epiphany of the limitless possibilities in this universe!
I need to find a way to be immortal!
I think I might just have had an existential orgasm.

THAT is why I want to be buried in a mausoleum.

It is the closest to lasting a looooooong time in a way that people can touch and see some remnant of me.

If one is cremated, only virtual bits of information remain to leave our mark on this world. Maybe a photo or two.

But a mausoleum with "HumanePain" engraved in stone letters 3 inches deep, well, that will last for at least 200 years!

Contributions made to art, literature and music last a hell of a lot longer.

Ah yes, true, true. 'Tis why I write. Diversified paths to the same end, hoping one of them will work. (sits back in Library wing chair and contemplates immortality...)

Still, those attempts for immortality fall short of one's expectations, especially when you realize that the human mind is not limited by matter, so why should it decay with it?

I have accepted the inevitability of death, I work towards prolonging my lifespan as much as possible.

If I ever get to have kids, I shall print out one of your works and read to them as a bedtime story. Just to keep you memory alive. I promise. =)
