Cheers to ya, good sir.

I never understood "Rest In Peace", though. I believe it's kind of impossible to rest when one is dead, as rest is taking time between actions, and since there's no action on the other side- well, anyways.

Keep doing that dead thing you do.

Or KDTDTYD.

Yeah.

Its been around for centuries dude, it stems from the belief that when you die you go to sleep so your soul can rest in the heavens.

"The word cemetery is actually a euphemism: "He has gone to his last rest" from the Greek word koimeterion, meaning dormitory, which stems from the word koiman, meaning to put to sleep."
Obtained from the Dictionary of Word Origins by Joseph T. Shipley (Dorset Press, New York)

Anyways, RIP John Lennon, the world still mourns your death.
