Rumor has it, Knievel wanted his remains set on fire and launched across the Grand Canyon. That’s pretty cool, but I’m sure friends and family can think of something a bit more up to par with Knievel’s accomplishments in the world of daredevil feats.
Here are my suggestions:
1. Cremate him then send his ashes to CNN. Make sure to include a white, powdery substance inside the envelope and the word “Anthrax” stenciled in black somewhere outside. Not your traditional flaming-hoop type daredevil trick, but ballsy nonetheless.
2. Send his body, intact, to Chernobyl. Lets find out if those over-sized wolves and other freaky radiated creatures really exist. Talk about brave.
3. Send his coffin to Condoleezza Rice with a note that says “Iran is taunting you” tacked somewhere. Rice looks like a pitbull — frankly, she scares me, but I know Knievel could handle her.
4. I’m going to stop now. I just heard a voice from the back of my head yelling, “Stop! It’s not cool to turn death into something funny, you insensitive youthful-but-not-for-long bitch.”

Dead Evel Knievel v. Condi Rice? Hmmm.
