This Daily List was suggested by Ace of Knaves, and it's a good 'un. What would you like on your tombstone? What fact, belief or achievement do you want to commemorate your nerdy life for all eternity?
Stupid kids that don't exist. THOSE HE-MAN FIGURES WILL PROVIDE FOR YOUR FUTURE.
So that's it. You don't have to go to the trouble of making an image like I did (I'll likely do that myself with the winners), just post your epitaph in the comments. It should be obvious you only get one entry per person, since you only die once (unless you're a Marvel or DC character, of course). Also, don't make them too long, or both the gravestone and my patience runs out -- I'd say about 80 characters is your max -- and that's letters, not words. The contest ends at 12:01 am EST on Monday, June 7th. Also, anyone who uses the phrase "Swift Sausage" in their epitaph will be immediately disqualified. You know why.

I was going to type something cool and nerdy, but then I realize that I would probably die being stomped down while waiting in line for Batman 15th's premeire in Japan (when they stop being weird, and superhero finally becomes a big thing over there.) I won't have any kid or friend who would know that I'm missing. Hence, no epitaph nor even a headstone. Not that I would have any regret. Should be a good and fulfilling life (apart from the fact that I remain a virgin.)
