I'm sure there are people who are tired of this many-year-old running joke, but, in the immortal words of Depeche Mode, I just can't get enough.

What did we do before there were handheld video cameras to immortalize such behaviors on the internet?

Kick ass! Congrats, pumkin'! I guess now that you are forever immortalized as a galaxy member, we should just come clean and let everyone know you were my sockpuppet all along. Bwahaha.

Trilateral Cat Commission forever!

@enoch,

It is definitely immoral as described earlier. However you raised some good points such as the varying levels or degrees of immortality. The example you gave of a woman struggling to feed her children & herself who will do anything to survive raises the age old question i.e. if a man steals a loaf of bread to feed his starving family, is it still stealing?. & this is a very grey issue to delve into accurately. Obviously there are multiple avenues here that any respective journalist worth their weight in salt should have considered such as to the 'why' of this, not just the 'how'. Are these disabled individuals undervalued, out-of-luck, battlers seeking restitution simply to survive in society, or is it simply greed & their 'disability' is manufactured to make a profit?. Obviously, for the payers it is simply to get an advantage that the general public are denied. However, deciphering the payees motives are far more complex & the reporters really should have focused more on the users, as they have set-up the client base for this system of dishonestly to thrive whereas the guides are merely the pawns, as one parent of the 1% 'as she described herself' commented on social networking after utilising these services commented 'This is how the 1% live' & nothing was done to confront her.

In the immortal words of Geoff Peterson: Hahaha, that was awesome.

Pretty sure it was Highlander (the movie version). Though personally I loved the TV version if only for the rockin' Queen opening theme song:

I am immortal. I have inside me blood of kings. I have no rival, no man can be my equal...

EDIT: Turns out it was in the movie version too, though somehow I don't remember it.

so, our "light" is "huge and kind of immortal," but then, so is everything else that reflects visible light, no?

Try this one: Combine the participatory universe idea (ie. the universe is the way it is because thats how it had to be for you to be there to observe it and therefore couldn't be any other way because you wouldn't be there to see it) with the many worlds quantum mechanics jobby. Now, imagine in all of the infinity of different possibilities, in one or more, by whatever random chance, you turn out to be immortal. Since you have to be alive for your consciousness to be around to observe the universe, that immortal possibility is the one you'll end up in.

So no worries. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

Footnote: Of course, it kind of falls apart if you look at time the other way. Since you were dead before you were born, how'd the universe get there for you to be born into?

There is actually room for eternal life within certain interpretations of quantum mechanics. I refer to the article on Quantum suicide and immortality on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_suicide_and_immortality
Of course, this is highly speculative at best, and impossible to test in an objective manner. But given the many worlds interpretation, or an infinite universe with infinite variety, it is at least plausible (to some tiny extent) that, say, some advanced aliens could make maybe a robot or something with a randomized personaily and experience, and that that randomized person would match you exactly as you were when you died, "moving" your experience from your life over to that new life as a robot. Very fascinating. And completely irrelevant to everyday life.

Point is, life after death cannot be 100% ruled out (maybe 99%). That was the only part of the video I disagreed with.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

OK, everybody ... Freak out! ( in the immortal words of Klaus Meine ... anyone ... anyone?)

First steps immortalized.

I see young punks who think they are immortal pull that stunt all the time. Having lost a brother at 16 in an accident (he was the passenger in a car that was hit in something similar to this) I just want to shake those kids who put their lives in danger just to get a few cars ahead on the highway.

Thanks
