turducken out on death

2004-06-15 - 10:12 p.m.

I learned some today.

Q. What is a turducken and how much does it weigh?

A. The turducken is a 15-16 pound semi-boneless turkey stuffed with duck and chicken with layers of delicious stuffing between each bird.

and - I learned about these guys. For anyone else who may also have a death issue.

THE IMMORTALISTS (I cut a lot out, it's quite wordy)

by anonymous author

"Physical Immortality is the only cause you can't die for.

The basic idea of physical immortality is that you can take personal responsibility for the destiny of your physical body. Immortalists reject the idea that death is inevitable.

Death is a grave mistake.

Death is Unhealthy

A Useless Custom

Another common-sense finding that immortalists have made is that death does not occur at random, but seems to occur statistically according to family tradition. The time of death is not controlled by God or Nature or the Devil, but is determined by a family pattern: Parents sell death to their children, consciously or not, generation after generation, without questioning it. Insurance companies make a profit on the fact that, statistically, family members tend to die generation after generation of the same symptoms and at about the same age. If you wish to attribute this to genetic factors, why are there then any exceptions to family tradition? Charles Dickens (a Turdicken?/ed. note)died at age 58; his son, Charles Walter Dickens, at 58. However, doezens of descendants lived 10 to 50 years longer than that. These divergent tendencies seem to indicate that family tradition may be passed as a mechanical pattern unless the individual becomes conscious of his own programming and takes responsibility for it.

Immortalists say that we can consciously change these patterns and control the quality of our flesh."
