When Geeks Discuss Living Wills

Me: You know that, if I am ever totally paralyzed or have permanent loss of consciousness, I don't want life support, right?

E: No, but I know now.

Me: Unless, of course, it's like 10 years in the future, and they can upload me to a computer. 

E: So do that first?

Me: Yes, back me up before you plug the primary plug.

...thinking...

Me: On further thought, if some people from Google show up, and say "We can rebuild him, we have the technology.", then take them up on their offer.

E: From Google?

Me: Yes, and if some people from Microsoft show up and say the same thing, say no.
