    Fred’s sarcophagus is really going to freak out archaeologists in the future: “How on earth did the ancient Egyptians get to Florida?”

    Does this mean we have something in common with the chimps? And, at first I thought the casket was a fancy phone booth.

    Maybe that’s the solution to something that has perplexed me for years - often I have taken my clothing outside to make sure it matches in natural light, because many times I have chosen things that appeared to match under incandescent light actually did not match in sunlight. Maybe it’d just be easier to wear all black - or all white.(except there are so many different shades of black and white! Sometimes you just can’t win.

    Addendum: I do not have a clue why so many words were struck with a line through them. I don’t even know how to do that.

    Is Fred a Jehovah’s witness? Seems he wants to go like Charles Taze Russell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Russell_Pyramid.JPG

    Here’s a better idea Fred. Turn the sarcophagus upright, build in some shelves and you will have a great liquor cabinet.

    Not bad Fred, but I still think Hunter S. Thompson’s did it better.

    A) When he’s gone, there’s no guarantee that they’ll honor his wishes and mummify him, etc.,B) Will they pull his brain through his nose in the ancient tradition?C) Will he buried in a pyramid, and will the grave robbers come to pillage it afterwards?

    If he’s expecting his body to last thousands of years – no way if buried in most places in US Egyptians survived thousands of years by being buried in dry ground.
