Most of you know of Alan Harrington, author of The Immortalist. I was 
curious about how and when he died. In finding the answer, I came 
across a passage that I found grimly funny:

How strange it is to think of the Immortalist in the ground. His 
headstone tells it all: *Get me out of here*.

I was led to this after reading Jason Silva's lovely article:

My one reservation is that Harrington was way too hard on discos...
