YOU'RE DEAD!!!

Here's an interesting little version of the afterlife that I used as basis for a comic once (the comic itself sucked, but I still like the concept).
The afterlife is divided into a Heaven and a Hell. When people die, their souls are judged, and if they've learned what they need to, they're allowed into Heaven unless they choose to reincarnate. If they haven't, they're sent to Hell. Here's the more original part -- Hell exists to rehabilitate souls to the point that they're allowed to reincarnate and try again, if not let into Heaven period. The comic centered around a psychiatrist who had to help the souls get over whatever their problems were. Not the *most* original idea, but I happen to like it.

My own personal beliefs sit as the background behind every fictional world I create (even RotD!), so y'never know . . . the FF writer(s) might actually believe the same as you.

I'm all about Valhalla--but in the Operatic Wagner way, where all the chicks are four hundred pound screamy goddesses with horn helmets who can totally kick your ass.

Sorta reminds me of Beetlejuice.

Really? I haven't seen that, though I'd kind of like to...

Just for reference sake, there was scarcasm in that line of mine. I don't really mind the cheesy movie reference.

Sounds like Jack, to me.

I figured as much, but also figured it might be worth mentioning.

The cockroaches would survive. Pesky little buggers survived two mass extinctions, they're invincible! Wouldn't you all want ot be cockroaches?

Actually, people from Mexico City (like yours truly) are also immune to nuclear blasts, among other things. Comes from living in the Most Contaminated City in the Planet.

So, after The Bomb, us Mexicans and the Cockroaches will duke it out for World Domination.

Thus, you have two choices: come back as a cockroach, or as a mexican.

Choose.

Can't we just compromise and be Mexican cockroaches?

P.S. I knew he would be back... can't resist at least one post.

I wonder if Jex searches the forum every week for "Mexican" to see if he should respond to something?

JEX! I knew you'd be back! *tackles him and forces him to start updating his comic again*

seeing Jex is kinda like catching a leprechaun...except there's no pot of gold...or marshmallow bits

...then what kind of bits have I been chewing on?

Random afterlife idea: you exist as a cartoon version of yourself in a badly drawn comic.

Seriously. It may not be reality, but my favorite interpretation of the afterlife is without a doubt Jack.
