Don't even need cremation to intern a loved one in that giant *goshdarn* urn

I'd totally sell that thing on eBay just so people could be grossed out by my naked reflection.

Looks as if he'll no longer be able to use the argument about a pot to piss in.

Think it'll be big enough to hold all his money?

I've been watching him for a couple of years on the weekend mornings.  He's the real deal.  His piles of money will have their own piles of money.

Although based on my reading of the UK/Irish press he has no chance in living up to expectations.  Right after he won in Dubai his name was mentioned in the title of something like 12 of the 20 titles in Sky Golf's RSS feed.  Mark O'Meara came up with the nugget that he's better than Tiger was at that age.  I too would love to see another Hibernian at the top of the world rankings but let's not get beyond ourselves.

He's got talent that's for sure.  He jumped from 39th at the end of 2008 to 16th in the world rankings.  But I think it's a little early to start comparing anyone to Tiger Woods just yet.

Check out this clip that talks a bit about McIlroy:
