I have a very heavy IKEA bed - a large double bed, although the double part is of purely academic interest,  unfortunately.   I put a thin  board, painted in acrylic, on the headboard, pushed against the wall.  A slithering sound advised me that it had slipped beneath the headboard of the unmoveable bed.   And there,  it is doomed to stay, since I can't shift the bed, and the backboard is solid: this is my contribution to immortality.... in years to  come, long after I have been borne forth in a  body-bag, some archaeological investigation will reveal the painting, as the (horrible  IKEA woodchip monster) bed  disintegrates.  I think of this as being my commitment to securing a place  in the next  world, rather as the artists of cave painting have staked their claim. 
You have a wonderful way with words 'academic interest' made me smile. As for the rest of the post, I'm asking myself - why? But no doubt this unfortunate incident will be of interest for someone in the distant future.
