    Very thoughtful, but it won't look so dignified when it's a dusty old relic on a skip in five years.

      I hope not - it's got his ashes in it!

      As a memorial, his friends and colleagues left messages on post it's stuck to the front of it (or posted through the floppy drive slot). And apparently the "Beam me up, Scotty" line was one of the last things that he said.

      I wish I could come up with something as cool. I'm thinking "If Death comes near me I'll rip his tits off!!!" or just the standard "Game Over. Do you wish to continue?"

          Fair enough. It was the line 'brutally killed aged four' that I thought was iffy, rather than the gravestone itself but hey it must just be me.

          No, too chavvy.

          Numbly tolerating the inequality as a way to achieve greater prosperity for all.

            I did try 'brutally murdered' but to get it to fit the text was then too small to read.
            My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

              Presumably "cut down in its prime" was too big too?
