      You should add try and catch to handle a LifeThreadAbort exception, just in case you do not quite make it to 100000000 breaths.

          That exists only for Buddhists. They get the Redo From Start option.

              Which programming language to use on your tombstone?[^]. At the moment I am thinking Forth but am still trying to work out some suitable code. [Edit] I think :Goodbye 42 Emit 8 Emit CR ; .Goodbye [/Edit] What would be your choice?

              c++ must be the most poignant:

              It even looks bleak somehow. Though this might be good (c#):

              for (var what in death.sleep)
              {

                    On a gravestone they usually have the birthdate and the date of death, so you should have a constructor as well.

                                It was broke, so I fixed it.
