what? no Silicon Heaven? smeg!

One of my favorite shows of all time is "Red Dwarf" (BBC, 1988-99, 2009; http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/). In the show, Kryten (one of the main characters, an android) explains that all machines (himself included) would go to Silicon Heaven.

KRYTEN: "He's an android. His brain could not handle the concept of there being no silicon heaven."
LISTER: "So how come yours can?"
KRYTEN: "Because I knew something he didn't."
LISTER: "What?"
KRYTEN: "I knew that I was lying. Seriously, sir. 'No silicon heaven'? Where would all of the calculators go?"

All creation going to Heaven is a beautiful idea and it comes from a comedy. We'll see if this true some day.
