Talk about geek heaven!

The 'Glow Grave'I just stumbled across this while perusing the Ship of Fools’ 12 Days of Kitchmas (which is well-worth visiting in itself), and just cannot get over this item: the ‘Glow Grave’ — a stainless-steel grave marker complete with an LCD display that can be hooked into a PC interface to change the epitaph whenever you want!

I can’t. Stop. Laughing.

All I want to do is put a motion detector or pressure sensor on one of these things and hook it into a computer attached to the display so that it can dynamically react to people coming by to visit the grave site. Once it detects someone standing at the grave site, the screen would suddenly start displaying messages from the dear departed…

“I see you!”
“Hey, buster, you’re on my head.”
“It’s hot down here!”
“I knew it — God uses a Mac.”
“Help! There’s no air!”
“These worms really itch.”
“God is a woman after all!”
“You’re next.”

    “I told them velvet lining in the coffin!” “Hey St. Peter, is Elvis really … you know? He Is! Which One?” “You know, that bright light really was a train.” Man: “I’ve always hated this suit!” Woman: “This dress does make me look fat!” “They could have at least put a DVD player in this coffin!” “Is it just me or does it smell in here?” “Eat at Jesus’s!” “Live Nude Girls! Live, get it! I kill me! Seriously, I did.” “OK, this ain’t funny anymore …. LET ME OUT!” “Damn, even Heaven has a Starbucks! Hey, there’s another one.” “So that’s what happened to Hitler.” “I see dead people!”
