Interesting thought. But who's to say that humans will survive ten million years from now?
And who's to say it'll be humans who dig up Pesto?
Welcome to EvC to you too.

A quick method
Here's a quick method: do something very unholy, something sure to incur the wrath of God. Then make sure to drown in the ensuing flood - forgoing the generous offer of a forty day cruise on an Ark - and get buried under a layer of sediment.
With any luck you'll be found in a mere six thousand years, and yet be dated to be a ten million year-old fossil, by those dumb scientists with their faulty dating methods. And then you'll go on to be the talk of the town not only among scientists, but among creationists as well.
What more could you wish for?

The woman in your avatar as a girlfriend before I die.
Do you know who she is? (If you click on the avatar, you'll see an enlarged version.)

Or you could say 'immortelised'. (Notice spelling.)
The Dutch word 'mortel' stands for a certain type of concrete.
