Where do the dead reside?

Petition asks Death to bring Sir Terry Pratchett back

Sir Terry Pratchett fans have started a petition... asking "Death" to bring the author back.

The fantasy writer, famous for his Discworld books, died on Thursday aged 66. He had Alzheimer's disease.
Death is a recurring character in Sir Terry's stories - always speaking in CAPITAL LETTERS - and appeared on Sir Terry's Twitter account at 3.06pm.
"AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER."

One minute later this tweet appeared: "Terry took Death's arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night."
The final tweet simply said: "The End."

(continued)


I don't mean the physical self. The sensed presence of individual conciousness, the self, the thing with the qualia.... :read:

A sense requires a sensing agent. Ie a physical being.

Knew it. Possession and backseat driver hiding amongst his fans. This one is cleverer than most. I'll have to go through his fans one at a time until I find the one. :crumple:

There's no sense in thinking anything otherwise. All alternatives are non-sense.

Their atoms re-join the endless dance of earth, sky and water, and all else of them is nowhere but in the memories of mortal men.
