I doubt it, unless you knew them outside of the forum.

OK, so let's combine a code, like Houdini did with his wife. If anyone dies, he must get back here as a spirit, take over the body of someone, and post the message with your user name, and the word... uh... "gesundheit".

The word "gesundheit" is german for "good health", ricarleite. It's what you say to someone that just sneezed. Whoever dies won't exactly be in the best of health. If they come back as a ghost, make the password "Boooooo!" or something like that.

So that's how you spell it. I always imagined it "gezoontite"

Yeah! And the french word pronounced "wah-lah" is actually spelled V-O-I-L-A.

I'm not sure if you are familiar with Houdini's death code: he and his wife chose a secret word, and when Houdini died, she would try to comunicate with him, she would know there was an afterlife if she got the word in a way or another. She never claimed what the word was, but apparently it was a non-sensical non-existing word, so it wouldn't be a coincidence.

Gesundheit IS an unusual word, but we could use something like... "smorgasbord" (not sure it's spelled correctly)...

OK? So if any of us die (since there are about, let's say, 30 active users here, odds are one of us will die in about 7 years), we must come back and say (or write in our chests with blood while we sleep) the secret word. That way, we'll nto only know there IS an afterlife, we'll know when someone died.

Or... let's write a letter and tell our relatives not to open it until our death, and on the letter we tell them to get into the forum and post, saying he or she died.

I think you spelled Smorgasbord correctly. Looked good to me anyway. But how about some word that none of us are likely to EVER use. Say...

Supercalifragalisticexpialidocious.

Or, for old time's sake....

KAKAPEEPEE!!!!

Big yay!

So our spirits must rise from the grave, log in to the site, and type "KAKAPEEPEE... RIP", eh?
