What do you want to be remembered for?

""Norman E Borlaug saved more lives than any man in human history," said Josette Sheeran, the head of the World Food Program."


"Norman Borlaug, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist whose work on disease-resistant wheat is credited with saving hundreds of millions of lives, has died at the age of 95. He was best known for his work developing disease-resistant 'dwarf' wheat, which yielded two to three times as much as the normal crop."

"Trevor Rhodes owned and played with a larger telescope than any man in human history," said Trevor Rhodes, the head of 'Big Heads Anonymous'.


"Trevor Rhodes, a Nobel Prize-losing Astronomy Geek whose work on 'Time Warp Technology' created more liesure time for Astronomers, is credited with saving hundreds of millions of hours that could be put to better use in the pursuit of 'faint fuzzies'. He was best known for his work developing silly sentences so he could distract people from his true intention of world domination."

Trevor with scope

[DistroMan]

Yeah, it's a nice little finderscope that. Bugger reaching zenith with though. :eyepop:

[TrevorW]

I don't really care if I'm remembered, I'll be dead and it won't make any difference to me

[starlooker]

I plan to leave my entire life savings to the individual who will bronze my corpse when I am dead - the only catch is I have to be positioned in a useful pose - a lamp with a shade, a birdbath, a coffee table, an outdoor chair....as long as I am useful I do not care what becomes of me.

Oh, by the way I have had no takers. Anyone?

[dpastern]

Not compromising my principles. Refusing to be socially bulled by the "norm", oops, I mean sheep of society. Not being silenced.

I would like to be remembered for any good that I did, nothing more.

Might have a gig for you. I'm told we eventually want to have a statue of an astronomer outside the entrance to the Snake Valley club house. We have the scope ready - an old 8" SCT. But we have to build the kitchen and toilet and fit out the observatories first - can you hang on for a while? :D

"Simon who?"

For inventing cloud repellant.

[Jen]

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

[pgc hunter]

hehe I shall be an astronomer, loved by astronomers, for inventing such a life changing device. At a time when scientists are interested in developing cloud seeding (omfg what nutters), I shall rise forth and use my mighty will to tell them to get stuffed, please.

It could (will) even cure the malignant disease 'Melbourne Clouditis'.

[Miaplacidus]

For my incredible longevity, and for remaining always hale, hearty, happy, and healthy — and in full possession of all my faculties — right up until that moment when I choose to die painlessly in my sleep (and not before).

[Starkler]

I propose placing you outside the local library, facing the wall and posing you on hands and knees for use as a bicycle stand.

Am I hired? :D

[Baron von Richthofen]

The only people that are remembered are the extreme people like extremely bad, good, smart, oblivion is for the rest of us:face:

[casstony]

A Julia Gillard stand-in? She'd be a less boring public speaker if she didn't speak at all.

[Jen]

MMMMM pancakes yum are you going to the Snake Valley Astro Camp that can be your job in the morning :rofl:

[Bassnut]

Amen.........., but, "with the most toys" sounds good, that way I win :D:D.

[multiweb]

I do the real "french crepes", the thin ones, but I have the nasty habit of eating them as I do them :help:

Leading contender! And I would be useful for once in my life!
