All Things Profane and Sacred

I was reading a description of the scene out at Pompeii, and how there are people preserved in the moment of their death that the tourists go and look at. I thought it was pretty weird to think that my dead body could stared at by some future generation as a tourist attraction. Then I thought that my body would probably be frozen in some horibly embarassing pose such as picking my nose, scratching my ass or going to the bathroom (ala Rodin's "Thinker"). Jebus. I hope there isn't an afterlife-I'd be pretty pissed off. Fuck you, future generations.
