The Truth Behind The Geek (*creative liberties taken for the benefit of the reading audience)
Austen, whose best friend in high school was the Sargon II chess program, is a very connected individual. Austen, who spends at least eight hours a day on the Internet, is terrified about being buried alive. But to combat that fear, he has commissioned a cable company to wire his grave plot with power and ADSL, and has designed a coffin with a built-in CPU, embedded flat screen monitor, flexible membrane keyboard, web cam, and a drinking tube that leads to an adjacent plot with a converted septic tank filled with Mountain Dew.
