Trying Out Yahoo! Answers

I posted a question at Yahoo! Answers…

When I die, I want my remains sent to the sun. How much would it cost?

I am 140lbs and 5 foot 11 inches. Please explain how this can be achieved. It doesn’t matter how. Just send me to the sun. If there are other methods, please enumerate them (like alternatives to the best option).

I’m only accepting realistic answers, meaning only possible with today’s technology. For example, a giant catapult is realistic, provided you prove your theory (e.g. a calculation of the force needed for the projectile to reach the sun and how the catapult works).

Will this produce harmful effects to the sun? The Earth?

Posting the question was pretty interesting. You have to assign your question to a category (they’re broad yet precise). They even recommended categories (I’m so impressed):

  • Science & Mathematics > Physics
  • Science & Mathematics > Astronomy & Space
  • Science & Mathematics > Engineering
  • Social Science > Economics
  • Society & Culture > General – Society & Culture

I haven’t finished writing this post yet and there are 8 answers already. Not to mention that most of them have a very good point.

On a side note, this question is inspired by the book that I’m reading right now.

    No 1 has a trouble once they burn effigies of our troops and our flag, not a difficulty. You can construct a Mosque on Ground Zero. Someone in America wants to burn their book and OUR authorities freaks out, because God forbid we offend THEM!!! I am offended day-to-day by the way they take our sacrifices in their craphole of a region for granted. I’m offended when they knowingly prefer to rub their attack in our faces by constructing a Mosque at the internet site. I’m offended that our authorities is too afraid to standup to terrorists anymore and instead attempt to negotiate with them and kiss their butts by CONSTANTLY taking their side. And guess what America…they could care less about my “feelings” along with our own authorities could care much less. We have become a society who “tolerates” these creatures considering we do not desire to be viewed as “insensitive” and we are given excuses for why they hate us and what WE can do to prevent that. When the next attack on America happens (and in the event you believe that it won’t then You might be the liberal fool with your head within the sand) I seriously don’t even want to hear the “oh, man! How tragic!!!” line, because it’s correct in front of our faces and is constructing everyday by this administration’s policies and how they carry themselves. Not even 10 years since 9-11 and we already forgot. Disgusting.
