In this article, I wanted to see if ChatGPT could help take the sting out of writing obituaries. A craft that, contrary to popular belief, can be brimming with life, laughter, and a touch of irreverence. I began by downloading the basic requirements for writing a compelling obituary. Then, I sat down and roughed out a ChatGPT script of my own design, taking care to include all of the most important elements. Next, I logged into ChatGPT, plugged in my script, and asked it to help…

Scientists Discover Way to Swap Faces And everyone isn't necessarily happy about it
In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have developed a method to swap faces between consenting adults, moving beyond the realm of software imaging into the tangible world. This remarkable advancement in medical science raises both fascination and ethical concerns. The Historical Journey of Face Swapping The concept of face-swapping is not entirely new. Historical records suggest that Ramses II and Moses were the earliest recorded figures to undergo this procedure. Ramses II, one of the most celebrated pharaohs of Egypt, reportedly had his face swapped with Moses, the prophet and leader of the Israelites.

Eulogy for Stanko Mourning the loss of a man who left behind an indelible mark on our lives like the stains on his favorite armchair
We gather here today to mourn the loss of a man who has left an indelible mark on our lives, much like the stains he left on his favorite armchair.

In fact, I’m sure he would have preferred us to hold this service in Gutter Greta’s Grub & Grog where he spent most of his waking hours. Now, I know that many of you are…

Near Death Experiences Aren’t All They’re Cracked Up to Be Make sure you read the brochure before you go

But, what really did me in was trying to wolf down a foot-long, chili-cheese dog while balancing a bong in my lap. Out…

I Only Have a Few Months to Live But my drooling has gotten much better!
Every morning before I open my eyes to the rest of the world, I convince myself this is the day I’m going to die. It has to be. Anyone who’s lived as crappy a life as I have is bound to be suffering from something that will fast track them to the pearly gates. But to get a better handle on my diminishing health, I need to diagnose everything that’s wrong with me, its severity, and compute exactly how long I have left to live. My last episode began with an innocuous pain on the inside of my cheek. By running the tip of my tongue over the affected area,…
