Nothing is forever...not even the universe. What the hell are you going to do once all mortal life is extinguished?

You could cause yourself brain damage, so your immortal body would live on, but you wouldn't have to experience the agony of it. Unfortunately your soul wouldn't ever rest either, if you believe in that sort of thing.
I can't see youtube clips. What is it?
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
That was a nice try Archangel, clever.

I hear those are the hardest material in the world, and that nothing can break them. They'd definitely survive as long as any immortal person.

What's the half life of a diamond again, I can't remember, my chemistry teacher would be so disappointed.

@Animaniax - refer to BOC's posts on diamonds on the bitching thread for details on the difference between the toughness and hardness of diamonds. Well, wiki works too.
Peace.
I know man, I was kidding in reference to BoC's post.
@Abdula: diamonds have a half-life? I thought that property only applied to elements?

If this now turns into a physics class i'm gonna kick your ass ani. What's with your weird ability to transform every thread into a shadow of their former selves?? I still remember how the Goofiest Reps suddenly turned into a race debate about the superiority of the asian people xD
I failed out of physics twice when I went to university the first time. I think it was a mental block. Why oh why did they require biology majors to take physics?
Half-lives pertain to chemistry anyway, not physics.

Meh, I was going to do chemistry, physics and biology. God I wish I could go back to school

It's not impossible. Just have to make some sacrifices. Maybe making your best friend dead will help your wish come true.

Maybe but like I said before I would have get a best friend first. I think you're suitable for the role if you're willing that is, if not I'll just have to settle for Xan and kill him instead.

Well my version of immortal was basicly that you regenerate all wounds so brain damage would be impossible. But i guess there is many different versions and views. No matter. I would take it regardless.
But if your body don't regenerate you could get killed by being burned. Unless you would live on as ash. So to me i would regenerate no matter what damage was inflicted. Even if i was reduced to atoms i would just reassemble myself.
Well if you leave the object inside the brain, it could not regenerate to the point where it would be functional. If there's an axe blade jammed between the lobes of your brain, no matter how much it regenerated, your brain wouldn't work right.

Along those lines, it sure would be nice to be immortal, but stuck inside a steel coffin, or inside a concrete wall or structure.
You could wait so many years that the coffin/structure or whatever is degradated enough so that you can escape.
Regarding the question of the thread, I have no one I can call a best friend. I have many friends and the like, but nothing as best. Maybe some are better than the others, that's all. And I do not think I'm the best friend for someone. So I guess the question doesn't apply.
I could try to stretch it, into thinking what I would do if I had a best friend, the problem is that I think I do not have the mind structure that qualifies to answer. Having no best friend, I do not know what it is, so it's a bit hard theorize about it.
The other point is the kiling. I guess it's the greatest problem here. Are you able to kill, is the first basic part of the question.
I think I am not able to kill a human being. I can't tell I would'nt be able regardless of the circumstances. Maybe I could be able if I'm incredibly pissed at someone, enough for loosing judgment/reason, but then I'd need something that enables me to kill.
Maybe if faced to a choice beetween my life and the life of someone else. Or the life of someone I hold dear and someone else etc...
But I think that I'm not able to. So I guess I do not qualify, again, for the question.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
It would take like 100 years or something, you'd be an immortal looney toon at that point
Yup, immortal but not protected against mental problems people could create for you with mind torture.
And living forever with the right psychological scars, is living in hell...

No best friend? But you're married, so doesn't that make your wife your best friend? Or at the very least, someone who you love more than all others, and who cares about you the same way. I can see people with girlfriends seeing this question as not applying, because those relationships can be fairly shallow, but when you make a marriage committment, you choose to spend your life with someone, and that requires all the elements of a strong friendship to make it work.
