The late chap who invented the frsibee had his ashes incorporated into a limited edition series of frisbees. When you die, what what would you like your remains made into? For me, I am not going to die. I will take huge quantities of monkey gland extracts and live in a glass bottle full of weird life giving fluids but will not die. This is not for any selfish reasons but simply to irritate my relatives. Alternatively I’d like my ashes to be declared a national treasure and kept in a glass jar at the Natural History Museum. Hmm, I seem to have a thing about glass jars… ---

If possible, I’d like them made into me, only an alive version. only with better abs, and I’d let a girl sculpt my butt to her standards ---

I wish to be freeze dried, broken up into chunks about the size of a fist, then have the chunks thrown off the space shuttle, as the chunks disbursed they would one by one re-enter the atmosphere causing a shooting star to be seen from the ground. Whenever my loved ones saw a shooting star, they would think of me. ---

Some kind of timer, like an hourglass. Maybe there would be enough ashes to make a series of timers, say - three, four, five, and six minutes. Then I could be of use when people were grilling steaks! 🙂 ---

I met a lady who was a potter. She is going to design a pot and when she dies, she wants to use her ashes to glaze the pot. ---
