Where do you go when you die?

[Likes to build bongs]

Well, yes and no. Mostly yes. I originally used the number 4252 because it was the # of a sailboat I had, but as soon as I discovered Douglas Adams, I started to read everything he wrote, the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy 5 book "trilogy" being my favorite. When I joined this forum, I shortened 4252 to 42, but realized right away it was also the number from the book; Deep Thoughts' answer to the question about life, the universe, and everything. So it seemed to fit.

I hear they're making a movie based on the first book. Know anything about it?

42

I don't know too much about the movie, but I saw the tv show that was made in the 80's. It was on the BBC and it was horriable! It totaly killed my imangination of the book. That is the greatest trilogy in the world. I'm contomplating going to see the movie though. I don't want the book to be ruined anymore. But with more resent computer graphics, they can depicted the book better than they could in the 80's. Also because it's a feature film it will have a greater budgit. What I'm hoping is that they don't try to fit all five books into one film. Here's a link to a website that has a lot of info on it.

hey az...well, i never thought about it before, but a close friend passed away last year and a month after his passing i had a VIVID, face to face meeting with him in my dreams...i knew even in my dream that he had passed, yet there he was! it was very intense and it took me weeks to recover. just my ol' brain processing grief? perhaps, but i will never forget it...

I dont believe in an afterlife, but it sure would be cool to see old Dubya being tortured in hell.

apparently its called the alpha plane and it has many levels depending on how youv lived your life. Anyway i dont belive there is anything after death but the only consolation i have to nothingness is that everyone will share the same fate as me

This thread has me depressed. I want to live forever. I still remember the day when I was younger and I found out that everyone dies. Before that I only thought you died if somebody else made you die, but then my mom told me that we all die someday. In the back of my mind I hope she is mistaken.

You join some kind of collective consciousness of the all living things, past, present and future and your energy is recycled back into the Earth.

I heard that off of Final Fantasy 7.

i dont think you would.....old people smell enough after 100 years of life could you imagin how bad you would smell after 200......5000....let alone how you would look and hoe fragile you would be.....i think i would prefer to face inexistance that to be that old......hopefully i wont have to face it......but hey live your life the best you can and nothing bad will happen......possibly nothingness but you wont even know.....if not nothingness.....an infinate amount of possibilities lie ahead.....
