After a Sunday stroll through a graveyard, and in a fit of morbid introspection, I found myself contemplating how I want my tombstone to read. I settled on, "Here lies the mortal remains of an unredeemable bastard who went kicking and screaming into the infinite abyss."
I'm curious as to what others want as their last statement to the world to be. A simple name and date soen't do the trick for me.

Tel Aviv - The family of an Israeli baker, wondering how best to honour him, decided his secret recipe for cinnamon yeast cake should be written in stone - literally, since they inscribed it on his tombstone, the Yediot Ahronot daily reported Tuesday.
For decades, Yakov Topper had delighted the residents of Kibbutz Na'an, south of Tel Aviv, with his famous cake, which he baked every Saturday.
But despite the pleadings of the kibbutz members, he kept the recipe secret, entrusting it only to his wife and family, who also refused to divulge it.
Topper died three years ago and, following the death of his wife earlier this year, the couple's grandchildren were stuck for what to inscribe on their joint tombstone.
The decided to commemorate their grandfather by "publishing" his famous recipe.
"It was an idea from the stomach," one of them said.
The recipe, as inscribed on the tombstone: 1 kilo of flour 50 grammes of yeast A pinch of salt Three eggs 7 spoons of sugar 200 grammes margarine One and a half cups of milk Cinnamon according to taste.
