Fame or Life

[lleeder]

<p><font size="3">What would you rather have fame or extremely long life? </font></p><p><font size="3">If you choose fame you wil live to 27. On your 27th birthday you die. You will be famous your entire 27 years, always in the public eye an american icon. Your funeral will be a national day of mourning.You will be in every history book, people will write about you for years to come, there will always be fresh flowers on your grave.</font></p><p><font size="3">If you choose life you will live to 115. On your 115th birthday you die. You will do little or nothing of importance for your entire 115 years. You will be know to your immediate family and 5 friends. You will be buried in an unmarked grave. After you die all records of you ever existing will disappear and noone will know you ever lived.</font></p>

I got both!!!!

Depends. Would I be an &quot;Active&quot; 115 or would I be &quot;inactive&quot; by age 90 and the next 25 years would be spent lying in bed hooked up to machines unable to differentiate life and afterlife.<br />

I'll take Fame with Cindy Gibb.<img src="http://photos.keithjakubowski.net/html/cindygibb.jpg" border="0" width="75" height="94" /><br />

<p>Interesting topic, </p><p>I would pick the longer time, but I think that the 115 could be a bit longer since we are giving up great fame and fortune for it. People live longer all the time at a measurable rate, Idols will allways be there in the same capacity and numbers.&nbsp; </p>

[Doctor Z]

<p>That would only give me 4 years of fame, so I say fuck that.</p><p>If I could be famous (assuming riches come along with it) till 40, I'd take it.&nbsp;</p>

[patsopinion]

i was only going to live as a batchelor/free man until 28 ne ways before i get married and do all that shit so may as well do it big

[LilLibra]

Not interested in fame. Too much of a private person.

[Marc with a c]

i can't believe i thought lledder was normal when i first met him.

[SinA]

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>rather than have 15 minutes of fame, i'd prefer to have a lifetime of popularity</p>

<font size="2">As Long as I am Eating Good&nbsp;, Drinking Good, &nbsp;and Fucking any Woman, I would go with living longer.&nbsp;&nbsp; Fame would be Nice, but id like to live till at least 75.</font>

[LOAF]

Shit I guess I don't have a choice because I passed my 27th birthday??

[fezjr]

It shouldn't be live till 27, it should be enjoy fame and the good life for 27 years. For a good 12 years of that 27 years of fame and fortune you will not be able to enjoy it.

I will most likely die before I ever reach 115 years old and I am all ready pretty anynomous.

HIGH)&quot; </p><p>But if the song is a farse at least I'll get my mug on this sweet poster:</p><p><img src="http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/6/66/27_Club_Poster.jpg" border="0" alt="Members of the 27 Club (left to right): Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix and Brian Jones" width="300" height="449" /></p>

[Coach]

Odd one sided argument if you take Mr Shakespeare's argument into account..you'll live forever if you have fame.

[TjM]

Life. Though the unmarked grave and record destroying is a bit much. Considering non famous people have actual marked graves

I'm all for it. Besides, I'm way past 27 already, and a Faustian pact is not for me, although I guess it is either way you look at it
