      Your comment (sadly enough) led to a further level of profundity: You've heard talk of and seen movies about "the undead". Have you ever heard or seen anything about "the unstupid"? Clearly, stupid, then, is more difficult to undo then dead.

        That is honestly a very smart question. This is thinking outside the box. You know you are getting close when you ask the question that cannot be answered. :)

        I think that's that only time you can think. Because once you're inside the casket, your thinking days are over.

                              I Can Text You A Pile of Poo, But I Can’t Write My Name [^] - Aditya Mukerjee:

                              My name is not only a common Indian name, but one of the top 1,000 names in the United States as well. But the final letter has still not been given its own Unicode character, so I have to use a substitute.

                                    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It is only difficult for other people. The same goes for stupid.

                                    Now it's over, I'm dead, and I haven't done anything that I want. Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do.

                                        Don't quite see why that would hurt his feelings. Only an atheist knows you don't know you're dead when you are dead. There is another class of people who know that you would know you are dead. (Depending on which place you are sent would determine if it was or wasn't a pleasant experience. Neither class can prove they are right, they just know they are right and the other class is wrong. I choose to sit on the fence and not decide which of them is right. I guess that either will send me to hell or oblivion when my time comes. I probably will regret my life choices if I go to hell, but I'd probably blame someone else for not making it obvious that it exists and which religion has its existance right.
