That's a great idea. I plan to be cremated but maybe I could get a really fancy jar for the ashes so some future achaeologist will think I was some important person like a king or emperor or something.
In your defense, Briane, fossils don't have any genetic material in them. I know there's that lady that swears she can get T-Rex DNA out of fossils, but besides her, nobody else thinks it's possible. So you might be safe with your statement.

I hate to pop your bubble, so I won't. :P
But it's kind of hilarious.
PT: You should get a bunch of your blog followers to build you a giant pyramid, too.
Andrew: You've lost me. Are you suggesting maybe I'm wrong about fossils?
Does that make you king of the non sequitur? Today it does.
(That's what I say when a student says something that has nothing to do with anything, varied by gender. The blank stares I get make it worth it.)
No... Just that, now, with genetic testing, you wouldn't actually fool anyone in the future. Unless there's a loss of technology.
