What kind of nihilist did you have in mind? One who sails down the Nile into oblivion?

Why oblivion? Doesn't one sail down the Nile into the Mediterranean?

Isn't Death on the Nile just a movie?

Would anybody like Peter Ustinov to play them in a movie of their life?

Hasn't the great Peter Ustinov passed away? How is it possible to be played by a dead actor?

On the whole, wouldn't it be less complicated to hire a living actor?

Are you prepared to dig up the grave of Peter Ustinov and wire his remains with robotics and see which is easier? (I can't believe I wrote that)

Am I bothered by semantics or morals?

Bugger semantics or morals! How about practicality?

Corpsebotics experts? How charming is that? Um...may one be so bold as to ask what the job description of a corpsebotic expert is?

Isn't time relative? Has someone asked that already? And do you really need to know how corpsebotics works? Are you prepared for the mindblowing fun that learning such a thing entails?
