To the Stars

If you could have something named after you, what would it be?

A star.

If I could have one thing named after me, I would want it to be a star. Everybody sees the same stars every night; and they remain in the sky for millions (if not billions) of years. I love the idea of the every person on the planet looking up at night and seeing something that bears my name.

Of course, that depends on if they’ve got the summer or winter sky. And what hemisphere they’re in. I guess it also depends on whether or not its cloudy that night…

Okay. All the romanticism – and stark reality – of it aside, I think it would be really cool to have a star named after me.

If you could have something named after you, what would it be?

    I think this is a great answer. In effect, you would have a guarantee of “immortality”, or a lasting legacy.

      Of course, knowing my luck, I’d get a star that’s about to go super nova, or something.

      True. I’ve just never done it, or no one‘s ever done it for me.

        It’s only $100, carries absolutely NO weight AND you get a pretty desktop publishing level quality certificate in the mail… So WHY NOT?!? ROFL
