### It's quite likely that my spawn will keep an unmodified copy (perhaps
even the object spatiotemporally continuous with my present incarnation), as
a sentient memento, to enjoy my dreams come true - a never-ending existence
on a craggy island, greatly resembling a Japanese garden, in a replica of
Shokin-tei rendered in rough titanium, white marble and laminated aerogel,
with an unlimited supply of totally non-fattening Hershey's chocolate,
amazing computer games, exhilarating science news and curvaceous household
robots.
