Pros and Cons: Different paths to immortality

People have always tried to escape death, so I made a handy pro/con list to help you decide which method is right for you. 

Cryogenic Freezing
Pro: Most likely to succeed; Like a really long nap; Can make Futurama joke when you come out; Possibility of sharing space with Walt Disney's head
Con: Power outages; Freezer burn; Possibility of having to share space with some frozen peas

Eating Unicorn Feces
Pro: Will always be happy; Can finally make unicorn-skin jacket; May be killing the cast of My Little Pony
Con: Involves finding unicorn; Dysentery; Glitter will play hell on digestive system; Tastes like…well, you get the idea

Eating Lots Of Fruit Cups
Pro: Preservatives will provide eternal youth; Tastes slightly better than unicorn feces
Con: All tastes the same; Bodily fluids will be replaced with corn syrup

Joining A Cult
Pro: Get to ride to Heaven in a rocket; Free Kool-Aid
Con: Kool-Aid will taste funny; Might get sacrificed; Required robe not very flattering

Becoming A Dark Wizard
Pro: Minions; Being able to do whatever you want; All the cackling you could possibly want
Con: Will become really pale; Being repeatedly beaten by a lazy teenager

Vampirism
Pro: Comes with castle in the Balkans; Wearing a cape becomes socially acceptable
Con: Becoming hated and feared creature of the night; Most Italian food now lethal

Cloning Self For Organs
Pro: Does not involve becoming evil; Can have the best friend ever
Con: Obvious ethical issues; Possibility of evil clone; Will probably result in crappy science fiction movie

Zombification
Pro: Immunity to pain; Always having friends; Possible career as Michael Jackson backup dancer
Con: Noticeable decrease in hygiene; Limited vocabulary; Not really immortality because a rugged, square-jawed protagonist is almost certainly going to kill you

Selling Your Soul
Pro: Plenty of takers; Fun summoning rituals; Not like you were using it anyway
Con: Will probably get tricked; Removing sheep blood form carpet is a pain in the ass; Cthulu is usually pissy

Having Sex With A Hippogryph
Pro: Using “riding a hippogryph” both ways; Having sex
Con: Getting introduced to the magical world of STDs; This theory is largely based on guesswork
