I am not sure if I want to die 'well'. But I want to die in such a way that catches the attention and awe of the entire human race.

For instance, I'd love to sneak onto Cape Canaveral and stand on the launch pad during a Space Shuttle liftoff. Right under the largest exhaust nozzle. With a marshmallow on a stick. What a way to go! :D

Dieing quickly from something like a brick falling on your head, or a shot to your head. It's probably best to die if you don't even know you've been hurt.

That's an awesome way to go. :D

Personally, I'm a freak and want to be able to feel and actually know I'm dying. But I want it to be something fantastic and even just plain weird, like what you said. I don't want my obituary to say that at 90 years old I died in my sleep at an old age home, I want to say that at 90 years old I flipped over my ferrari on the highway!

how insightful. I'll make sure I avoid those rabid ducks.

The best way to die, I think, is to die by meditation; achieving nirvana, or becoming spiritually enlightened, no longer feeling the urge to live, and drifting off into desireless bliss.

I would prefer to die having lived to an excessively old age (maybe 90ish to over 100) and die engaged in honorable mortal combat whilst protecting something dear to me. (that could entail firing a shotgun from my wheelchair at someone trying to steal a possession...who knows)

Three men are in line to get into heaven. All they have to do is pass St Peter who should let them in. When they get to the front of the line, the first man goes up to St Peter. Peter says to him, "Because of technical difficulties and lack of room we are only accepting people who died a gruesome death. How did you die?"

The man replies, "I got home to my apartment, on the 25th floor of the building. I purposely came home early to see if my wife had been cheating on me. She denied it, but I looked all around for the guy anyway and couldn't find anyone. Then I went out onto the balcony, looked down, and he was hanging from it with his bare hands! So I started to kick on his hands to get him to fall off. However he managed to hold on. So instead I got a hammer and smashed at his hands. He then fell down, but he landed in a bush so he was stunned but ok. So I then ran into the house, picked up the refridgerator, took it out and chucked it onto him. However in all this excitement, something snapped in me, and I then died of a heart attack."

St Peter says, "Wow, that was very gruesome. You may pass. Next!" The second guy then comes up. St Peter tells him what he told the first guy and then asks how he died.

The man responds, "Well, I was on the balcony of my apartment, on the 26th floor of my building. I was doing aerobics, and was just about finished when I fell off the balcony! Luckily, I managed to grab onto the balcony below mine, on the 25th floor. But then this lunatic started to kick at my hands! I managed to hold on, but he then he grabbed a hammer and used that against me! So I fell. Fortunately, I landed on some bushes, so I was stunned but ok. But then a refridgerator fell out of the sky, killing me on impact! And that's how I died."

St Peter says, "Man, that's not only painful but also unjust and kinda ironic. You may pass. Next!" The third guy comes up. St Peter tells him what he told the first and the second guy, and then asks him how he died.

The man answers, "Picture this: I'm hiding naked, inside a fridge..."

Here's how I DON'T want to die:

A 15-Year-Old Male Farm Laborer Dies After the Tractor He was Operating Overturned Into a Manure Pit - Pennsylvania


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

A 15-year-old male farm worker (the victim) died after the tractor he was operating overturned into a manure pit. The tractor was equipped with a manure scraper fashioned from half a tractor tire mounted on the draw bar at the rear of the tractor. The victim and another 15-year-old-male, who was sitting on the tractor's left fender, were scraping cattle manure across a concrete-surfaced barnyard toward the mouth of the manure pit. As the tractor approached the open mouth of the manure pit, the victim applied the brakes, and the tractor skidded on the concrete surface wet from the manure. The left front wheel slid over the concrete edge of the manure pit, causing the tractor to overturn into the manure pit. The tractor came to rest upside down, pinning the victim underneath. The victim and the tractor were completely submerged in the manure pit. The passenger was able to reach the dirt side wall of the pit, climb out, and run for help. Other farm workers immediately called 911 and went to assist the victim. The local Fire Department and rescue personnel arrived within minutes and started to search for the victim. Approximately 35 minutes after the incident, the victim was extracted from the manure pit. Rescue personnel initiated CPR immediately and transported the victim to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

First, there is proof. Gasses build up in the stomach, and coming in cantact with oxygen causes them to erupt in flames, lighting a person on fire. The fire created is white-hot; enough to level a human to nothing but dehydrated ashes.

Second, the best way to die would be in the battlefield, guns blazing, taking bullets to the head and chest, screaming, trying to run, dropping to your knees unable to move, guns still blaring, until you just plain die.

Hrmmm... well, I like the Cape Canaveral idea. I think if I had to die, I'd want to die in the middle of the Republican National Convention, preferably with a great deal of pyrotechnics.

I want to die when I get abandoned in the middle of the desert, with no food or water.
Then I would wander for a couple of days before a mirage causes me to fall in a pit.
My fall would be cushioned, however, the cushion effect will be caused by the den of poisonus snakes which I fell on.
I would escape the den and manage to run from the snakes and straight to an oasis.
Unfortunately, the oasis will be filled with with toxic waste.
Before I can drink the water, some sort of large predator will scare me into spitting it (the water) out and run away.
The predator would die of the waste and I would escape.
After all this, I will become to weak to travel and drag myself to within sight of a city, and pass out.
I will then be run over by a truck that was sent out to rescue me from the desert.

I want a momument to the whole crew that can be seen from at least 3 kilometers away.

There is no proof Spontaneous Human Combustion is real.

It's probably not that spontaneous as smokers tend to be involved! Very often the true cause is suspected to be someone falling asleep with a cigarette in their mouths.

However burning a person in the way alleged to be spontaneous is perfectly possible, all you need is to be wearing wool or be in bed with blankets.

This is the Wick Effect, where human fat melts, is absorbed by the woolen wrapping and acts as the wick in a candle. This allows a steady heat to last for hours, consuming the body very nicely yet leaving the surroundings practically untouched.

It's been demonstrated with the body of a pig.
