Ok, I stole this from a TV programme, but I thought it'd be fitting as it's Halloween tomorrow :)

What would your epitaph be? And what are some funny one's you may have seen/heard?

My fave is Spike Milligan's 'I told you I was ill' Also a certain pit members sig.... ;)
A human being that was given to fly.

    Spike Milligan's famously read "I told you I was ill", but apparently he had two alternatives, the second being "Under This Sod Lies Another Sod". Brilliant.

    I'd go for "Do Not Disturb".

    Spike is a god. Don't wanna sound like a twat, but did you know the phrase on Spikes grave is actually spelled out in Gailic or something, in the hope of not encouraging too many on lookers?
    Just thought I'd mention it :o


    mine would probably be...."it's too late looking for him now..."
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    Pathetically, I had to look it up online. Despite 14 years of learning the damn language, I still couldn't translate single sentence. :p

    Hehe... We're shining examples of linguistic education, clearly. ;)

    As for my epitaph... I dunno. I could go for something witty and creative, or I could go with "I'm With Stupid" and a giant arrow.

    And we all know which I'd pick. :D

    Oooh, nice one.
    I read a biog of Spike, not to mention plenty of his books, what a fascinating human being he was :)

    Speaking of gaelic, I'd quite like "Alba nam beanntan ard, nan acraichean lom".

    That's Scottish Gaelic, right? Cos otherwise, I forget more of what I learned than I'd like to admit. :p

    I've been thinking and it's between this and:

    Here lies [my name] (I'm one step ahead of you, potential stalkers)

    Cunt.
