  • notme127, on 10/10/2007, -4/+124His wife still doesn't believe him.
    • darkyplasma, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1it's like school all over again...you fake sick so much that when you are sick, they still send you to school!
  • Fishlick, on 10/10/2007, -4/+67Spike Milligan- "I told you I was ill"
    • chris4404, on 10/10/2007, -11/+5The Beastie boys have already claimed this for their tombstones.
      • ladon86, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3- -
      • Jem2768, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Ahhh such originality. Spike Milligan kinda beat them to it as he's already dead and "I told you I was ill" is already his epitaph on his tombstone in Gaelic.

        And perhaps even the subject of the poster beat him to it, but I see the site's down after only 80 diggs...
      • Smokersroom, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2You idiot, this was a quote from Spike Milligan whilst the beastie boys were still suckling.

    • unitedkronos, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Spike Milligan beat them to the grave, and he died on my birthday...
    • seoirse, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Spike Milligan's grave is in Winchelsea, East Sussex. And they had to write the inscription in gaelic to pass approval of the diocese. So it says "Duirt me leat go raibh me breoite", which means "I told you I was ill"
    • LondonDude, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title
    • jimmick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Thought it WAS him, some fan I am.
      Got my flamin' hands ready for nothing
  • OneManArmy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+230Thanks for ruining the fun with your title.
    • melonhedd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18Would have have preferred the title to be "Funniest tombstone of all time!!! (pic)" and the description be "Title says it all"?
  • Mariasha, on 10/10/2007, -11/+0That's Sick.

  • everfresh59, on 10/10/2007, -5/+81Use Flickr next time....it's already down...
    • TDot1980, on 10/10/2007, -4/+20Yah, wtf is Zoomr?
    • cgomez, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Zooomr (emphasis on the three "o"s for no reason) is a inferior product that competes with Flickr.
    • Calcularius, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2zooomr is a photo sharing site where you *don't* have to suck up to a bastard company. They also *don't* help communist countries arrest their citizens for posting political messages.
      It wasn't down for me, maybe your ISP sucks.
  • beatbox32, on 10/10/2007, -5/+6Already crashed?? WTF...
    • HalFTW, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Zooomr is a pretty big site, I doubt it is down because of digg.
  • p014k, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Mirror?
  • dev9, on 10/10/2007, -19/+3"His wife still doesn't believe him."

    Thats because she's a woman...
    • RetroRufio, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1You think?
    • DrummerAndrew, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1No, it's because he's a man.
    • firedrillduckie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Nice try.

      It might have been funnier if you had replied to the comment, rather than quoting it.
  • whisperedlie, on 10/10/2007, -1/+34I'm going to be cremated and shot into the sun (or maybe that's shot into the sun and cremated?), but if I were to be buried, I'd want my epitaph to be "Wish You Were Here"
    • ncc74656m, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4A la Star Trek, I want to be shot off into deep space in a reproduction of a photon torpedo casing.
      • moskaudancer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Damn, between a sweet Pink Floyd song and the geekiest possible funeral...
        Maybe I can have them set fire to my body before they put me in the torpedo.
        Then I wouldn't have to choose.
    • Kratisto, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1We're just two lost souls swimmin' in a fish bowl,
      Year after year.
      Runnin' over the same old ground,
      What have we found?
      The same old fears.
      Wish you were here...
  • RunawayElf, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9I think their server is sick.
  • Alphateam, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1What is sick is the lame site that is down.
  • eViL2, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1down already.. less than 100 diggs..
  • atari808, on 10/10/2007, -5/+0no wonder it is slow, zooomr BETA....
  • coolspray, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1More... http://digg.com/offbeat_news/12_Most_Hilarious_Tombstones
  • Tzeentch, on 10/10/2007, -5/+14Why do people continue to digg the story up if the site's down?
    • reggplant, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Because they want to save them and view them later or there is a mirror available.
      • Grimdotdotdot, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Digg needs a 'remind me' function.
        • Kardall, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Or you could use notepad...
        • ErrorBorn, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0In that case you could get your news from a newspaper, but what's the fun it that?
  • bdurkin, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11buried
  • redwire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18Since no mirrors seem to have caught it heres one, but its an oldie there a hundred copies in google images if this link dies too:

  • bingobongony, on 10/10/2007, -10/+2Wow...A new low for Digg. This joke doesn't just pre-date the internet. It pre-dates the LIGHTBULB.
    • moskaudancer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Hey, I thought that was a good one.
    • msarge, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1No he's right, this *****'s so old.
      • nreynolds, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1he's wrong. i'm pretty sure the lightbulb was invented before 1980.
  • Timewalk, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1http://www.indianpad.com/story/86849
  • norbiu, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Come on Zooomr, you need to be Digg proof if you want to compete against Flickr.
  • dagr8tim, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Still one of my favorites:
    http://midwestlost.com/gallery/boothill/Duane_Angie_003
    • TheSolomon, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1That picture has clearly been altered to display that writing. The coloring of the tombstone itself is also false.

      If the photo was changed to help make it more readable, they should have written a caption below instead. It looks fake now.
      • TheSolomon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1After doing some research, it looks like the actual marker was repainted. I can understand the desire for the marker to survive, but now with it being repainted it looks no different than a fake Lester Moore marker made today.
  • nutzin23, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0This old guy that I knew just died and had a plaque at his viewing that said that. LOL
  • Tyr7BE, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7No picture, but the eeriest one I've ever seen was a headstone that said "I Was Once As You Are Now". Made me stop and stare at it for a good 30 seconds or so.
  • inotocracy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5coral cache got a copy: http://www.zooomr.com.nyud.net:8080/photos/denisgobo/3084439/
  • adbaker, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1Mirror: http://www.filehurricane.com/media/298
  • sircomix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I stumbled across one years ago which had a "no smoking" symbol and said "DON'T SMOKE- I DID!"

    Shudder.
  • adbaker, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1Image Mirror: http://www.filehurricane.com/media/298
  • jmaze, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It loaded fine for me.
  • GusTurbo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7"told u i was hardcore"
  • The0, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18"Found on a grave stone in a cemetery."

    You know, as opposed to those grave stones you find in the supermarket and at Toys 'R Us.
  • satchoo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Spike Milligan copy, total genious. But still copied
    • Heggy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Well, Spike Milligan died in 2002, this guy died in 1980.
  • blueangel01, on 10/10/2007, -4/+0buried
  • nixr, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1fail
  • DiggingOnDrugs, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1zoomr ***** sucks
  • Aplmf, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0This reminded me of funny grave stones writings from Fallout and Baldur's gate.
  • digitalmolecule, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1this actually goes back quite a way to the grave of Charles Stuart in 1802. an awesome shop in Maine, Gravestone Artwear, makes shirts out of rubbings of old gravestones. i have quite a few.

  • agann, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0That's one rude tombstone! [Pic]

  • Vagabond99, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2http://flickr.com/photos/71298471@N00/1286047783/
    There is one here in Key West from 1979. Legend has it that he was a local hypochondriac and the plaque is actually made from the marble top of his bedside table.
  • Chewie67, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Isn't this in front of the Haunted Mansion at Disney World?
  • tomesnyder, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4This quote is not a rip off/homage of anyone. It's a simple statement anyone might think of, as several have.
  • electricmba, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1This particular image may be new, but the "I told you I was sick" on a tombstone bit actually predates digg and the mainstream internet. Buried and lame for that reason.
  • naonao, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_Milligan#Death

    Spike did it too.
  • andrewcool, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Its a very popular grave stone.
  • k1n1mod, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I was visiting a cemetary in Eastern Europe and one of the tombstones said,

    "I was what you are. You will be what I am."
  • outsid3rNo17, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1I can't believe no one has said it yet. Well, here it goes...
    Photoshopped!!!
    • berky93, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0is not photoshopped. thats actually a common thing to see on a tombstone of a fun-loving person, for instance my grandma has that written on her tomb
  • ortucis, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2"Found on a grave stone in a cemetery."

    Me too.


    Though I should probably return it.. probably.
  • manon74, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1geez, give it away with your description... nice going
  • madsummer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I found one kinda like that in Tombstone AZ at the city cemetery...
