What will be written on your tombstone?

Here’s a fun little game.

Determine the future epitaph on your tombstone by taking out your phone and beginning a text message that reads,

“Here lies INSERT NAME. He/she was…”

Then allow the phone to predict the rest of the sentence. If you’re using a phone that gives you three options, choose the middle one every time. 

Using this method, my epitaph would read:

Here lies Matthew Dicks. He was just a bit too cold. 

Pretty good. Huh?

It turns out that if you try this at different times, you’ll get different results. 

My other options include:

Here lies Matthew Dicks. He was a good man in his own life. 
Here lies Matthew Dicks. He was just a bit too hard on himself. 
Here lies Matthew Dicks. He was the one who said we have a lot to do.

I like all of those a lot, too, but you only get one tombstone.

And no cheating. The first one is the right one and the real one. 

Let me know what your phone suggests for you.
