    prob needs more tweeking but i think you have something with that idea I really do
    Cardboard Coffins are quite the thing. I am not an expert like Dia, but I have been doing some research recently. Not that I expect to die imminently, but I am considering making some art work around the themes of death and renewal (oooh ark at me) and I wanted to make sure I knew how to make a traditional coffin before I began.

    Ok, dinner is out of the way.

    Technology seems to breaking new ground in just about every area (computers, communications, medicine) except air transportation. It's disappointing to me that we continue to exist with basically the same technology we've had for the last 50-60 years. Airliners are getting bigger, and are being outfitted with more modern gadgetry for navigation and some passenger comfort (although this is being offset by the greed which in the end makes air travel a bit more uncomfortable). BUT.... the travel times are still the same, and have been basically the same for the last few decades. You'd think by now we would've come up with a faster way to travel. I for one abhor being in an aluminum cocoon for more than 2 hours at a time. There's only so many movies and inflight entertainment one can stand. And I'm not a good airplane sleeper (unless I take drugs). I like my sleep horizontally, if at all possible.

    Hopefully air travel will improve dramatically in the next few decades.

    I love all the modern technology, but I question whether or not the world is a better place to live in then it was 50 or 100 years ago.

    I don't know about the rest of the world, but I sure as hell don't like where the U.S. seems to be headed in the future.

    the future has already arrived. yesterday is tomorrow and today is yesterday. the day before yesterday is really the day after tomorrow and right now is past if you look closely you will drink a beer then see a butterfly and before you know it an Iranian girl is talking to you and you look at her thighs and you think wow her pants are tight

    Strangely I actually agree with Marx. I question where we are all heading with this technology and how it will be used. In many respects we are heading into dangerous times and government and big business will/are working to bring it all under control and to regulate and monitor. Social networking means Big Brother working in terrifying ways. We have people being arrested for daft comments on Twitter that would have been ignored in the pub.

    I also think a lot of the new technology is pointless. I have a phone and would like to text and call. That is the function of a phone. I have a television to watch programs, that is the function of a television. In terms of tv, HD is good, but that's it for me. Good definition and what I want to watch. Same with music, I like to buy an album and put it on the stereo and I will never deviate. Downloads and MP3? Not good enough. CD and good headphones please.

    All I really hope for is improved and cleaner energy and affordable too as it is renewable. None of this petrol hike a week shit just so Dubai can build hotels underwater.

    Cardboard Coffins in a nutshell are crap, cremation is not Eco friendlily , large amount's of gas and
    electric, tradition wooden coffins are best a lot safer, remember most coffins are MDF , chipboard,
    with a thin wood vanear. very rare you have a sold wood coffin.
    This box is going to be burnt, remember it's bit like mutern dressed as lamb nothing fancy don't over
    pay.

    Cremation is probably a viable alternative in those places with extremely high population density and little availability of land.

    Cremation V burial 1.2OO sq yards of lawn area 26.000 cremated remains the correct term not ashes,
    strewn is the correct term not scattered.This lawn area could easily have 50.000 to 60.000 lot's of remains on.

    I used to be a coffin builder. Best job I ever had. Unfortunately it didnt pay very well.

    Wow. The best and most rewarding Jobs often don't. I may have to pick your brains at some point. ( In a non zombie way ).

    Aint that the truth! Build a few coffins, make your own stuff, stand a colleague up against a sheet of plywood whilst you shoot nails at him, what more does a 17 year old want from a job?

    Remind me again why you were sacked from the job?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
