Death is a joke.
For thousands of years, man has killed, and has been killed. Then they just get themselves burned into a little pile of ashes, or buried into the ground. I personally think we should take corpses, and use them as fuel to power our homes. I mean, thousands die weekly, correct? And if we keep thriving as a human species, never ending supply. :D
Then there is the joke religion has played on us. "This life, quite frankly, sucks. So when you die, you go to this peaceful, beautiful place with this guy who is actually 3 people, that will steal all of your memories, and then determine whether you go to his playhouse, or Satan's."
Seriously now, I offer you my humor, and hope you ponder yourself to sleep tonight.
