Mar 17 2010But Nobody Cares: Personal Rosetta Stones

personal-rosetta-stone.jpg

The Personal Rosetta Stone (Get Rosetta Stoned Today™) is a little 2-inch by 4-inch piece of granite (upper right in picture) that your relatives can glue to your grave so other people can access additional information about you via NFC-RFID enabled cell phone. OMG, you're gonna be the star of the graveyard!

  • Easily add wireless technology to any monument
  • Simply touch any NFC enabled cell phone to the tablet and see text and image on the screen
  • Non-NFC phones can access information manually
  • Select up to six Life Symbols to be engraved
  • No annual fees or additional charges - free shipping
  • Order for yourself and pass along to future generations

Pricing starts at $205. Basically, somebody waves their cell phone in front of the thing and then they can read whatever the hell you wrote before you kicked the bucket. It's like a Rosetta stone for your life. One nobody cares about. Plus pictures! Which -- are you thinking what I'm thinking? A ballshot and link to Geekologie, high-five!

Really?

I was first for the first time in my life! I'm so proud of myself :')

"I call this move 'the brain' (from the movie Waiting)".... take a picture of that, and put it the Rosetta Stone

@2 just like it says above, nobody cares

Im actually vain enough to buy this, very cool.

Dear naas, your a prick, just thought you should know that, you used to be kinda cool, now all you do is come onto a post and criticize people or make yourself look like an a$$hole. Love, ThatGuy

i can just imagine all the perverted uses for this. Perfect tools for the grave robbers and necrophiliacs!!!

walk around "hot damn look at the tits this one had." *shovel*shovel*shovel*

I AM SO GETTING ONE!!! Not for a head stone but i am going to attach them to my body and if i get enough i will never have to say a word. Someone would be like, "what's your name?" and all they would have to do is wave their cell phone.

@8 its called a nametag, costs significantly less, also, been around forever.

@6 that wasn't the real naas yesterday; #4 however, appears to be the true naas..... just sayin

@10 ok

So lemme get this straight... I can put an image on my tombstone... That people can scan... And I can link it to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ ?

Do want.

I find it interesting that assholes think they are so fuckin important that they need to continue to take up space after they are dead. Hopefully, I'll be of sane enough mind when death approaches to wander out into the forest so that coyotes and whatnot can rip apart my body and return it to nature. otherwise i'll have to settle for cremation.

@12 You should check out the version by Cake.... the sound quality is crappy here, but its still a good cover

When I die, i want to be cremated, and mixed with soil, and use that soil to grow some stinky plants.... just like "Ivory" in "How High".... just sayin

Actually, I find this very interesting. Imagine reading the little stories other people left behind when you visit someone's grave. Or someone about to die, to leave a message behind which only a special someone will understand--so they will only get the message if they ever bothered to visit you.

I find this both intiguing and romantic, but then maybe it's because I'm sentimental..

@ThatGuy it's "you're a prick" ....not your a prick, get an education before attempting to defend you little island on firstardia

...and yes, when it comes to that first shit I am a prick

@Closet Nerd what did I miss yesterday? ...I wasn't commenting, is gay naas still around?

Goatse. Definitely goatse. Being able to scar people for the rest of their lives even after I've passed on would be totally worth $200.

@18 naas, a fake and bitter "Naas" took your place yesterday.

@12 - you could also link to cotton gins and model A fords and any number of old stuff that isn't funny anymore.

@Dishy dammit! I'm the bitter one here not some shmed trying to be me... wtf topic was this from? I'm too lazy to look back. fuckin fake naas faker fuck fucker

@20 ahh I see now, the link to his name is almost laughable

kids these days....

@22 naas, yesterday morning, at the bottom of the "Cuuuuute: Lego Dino Skeleton" post. There was also a few drunk pissed-off STOMPY comments which were probly also fake.

What's with you tho? You don't post much anymore. Busy auto-tuning the crap out of girl-pop hit "singles"? There's a lot of demand right now....

I thought there was other threads too, but not sure.

@24 I love drunk pissed off STOMPY comments, and after reading them I think that was him cause that's how he generally is. He didn't mention his hot mom so I could be wrong... STOMPY has been known to be into motorcycles & the whole choirboy thing so it's hard to tell.

I'm sorry I don't post as much here Dishy, I've been recovering from knee surgery I had 3 wks ago. I have tons of norcos I take for the recovery pain, but everytime I take them I pass the hell out. They seem to hit me stronger than most people for some reason because I understand that's not supposed to happen. I'm also a new dad, so when I'm not lying face down on the floor somewhere I'm taking care of a 2 month old.

I'll come back & join the fun though, I stopped taking the painkillers for the most part & can get back to the daytime binge drinking again

@26 haha, i told you! once you have a kid life "as you know it" (up to that point) is OVER!!!!! Now your life revolves around your little naasette..... just sayin

@27 It's not over my friend, just different. I could never look at things that way though, otherwise I'd regret making her. You see it's like thi.....shit, baby's crying

Heck, when I'm dead they can do what they want with me. I don't need a stone.

@28 No. I don't mean life is over.... i meant your "life of freedom" (i.e. going whereever you want, whenever you want). You can't even go to the store without planning it out. its like before, life was about YOU.... now your life revolves around LIL ONE.... thats why i put "as you know it" in quotes.

I love having kids. It is the best thing in the world. You lose a lot of personal freedoms, but they make up for it in how special they are.

♪ freeeedooom, freeeeEEEeeedoooommmm ♪

I hear ya Closet Nerd & thank you for putting that song in my head. That's not so bad though, it's a good song. Before you changed it in my head, I was singing this all morning... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oavMtUWDBTM

@31 They play the clip of that guy singing the "Lololololololo" during their morning show.... makes me smile everytime.
Funny show.... check it out some time. They have podcasts available on iTunes. The Preston & Steve Show. Here is their main page.

@naas, I've never had surgery, but I had a bad knee for a year once and it's a pain. Hope yours is all fixed, you'll know in a few months I guess.

I think having a kid is sort of like growing up. People without kids cannot know what it's like, just like a 10 yo can't know what it's like to be 20. If your friends don't have kids it's tough 'cause they have no f'ing idea.

But people with kids understand. They would never go back to being 10 year-olds.

Welcome to the club.

@33 That good sir was poetic, you could not be more correct. Thanks for the welcoming also, I brought some of the good shit to share & celebrate....who's in?

@34 [enthusiastically raises and waves both hands]
"ME ME ME!!!! Over here! Over here! Behind the fat chick!"

I found a picture of "fake naas" and his beotch..... just sayin

@9 Yeah but see i could program it to answer basic question about myself that way i can continue to be lazy and read Geekologie.

This would have been a good idea... 400 YEARS AGO!

I'm going to link mine to some corporate websites and everytime someone bumps on it people will see some ads and then my family gets paaaiiiidddd!!!!

I'm thinking maybe a commercial for pizza hut then one for viagra, then that superbowl ad for pepsi with cindy crawford looking hot! All things I won't be enjoying anymore while I'm pushing up daises and feeding the worms.

@21 I think cotton gins are the Conan O'Brien of farming equipment.
