a "finer mathematician" than the average person, who is not a 
mathematician, and hardly an "outstanding scientist," though I'd like to be.

Maybe I misjudged the issue. Humor does have its place.
I wonder, though, what would happen if we had "funny" pro-immortalist 
questions such as 

Y N I hope to be fed to worms someday.

Y N I am thrilled by the thought that my head will explode if I'm 
creamated.

Y N To fertilize a daisy garden is what I think is the 
real, overall purpose of my life.

Y N The reason I'm here is to occupy a coffin.

Y N I hope someone drops me in a hole someday, and throws
dirt in my face.
