I have over the years had some close encounters with The Grim Reaper.One car accident and 2 near drownings have as a result made me somewhat obsessed with death. Also,the approach of my 40th birthday, has,as well as a toke and some Blue Oyster Cult, made me think about how i'm going to die,not as i would like to,of old age ,surrounded by family...but realistically.Because of present health problems my guess for myself;Heart Attack.Yours?

You know, it's irksome that you only have *one* choice of death here.
I'm very likely to have a heart attack, but i won't die of it. And i like the STD choice, since i'm sure it'd apply to a lot of others here ... ;P
but it's either *other* and/or *freak accident* - even my high school yearbook made note of the freak accident part. All the pictures alluded to the STD part :D

Most likely suicide somewhere down the line. I tried before, but failed.
To be honest, I've no intention whatsoever to live into old age (no offense to anybody, it's just not something I'm going to do), but at the moment, I'm bound by a promise, so I'll stay for a little longer.

As I wasn't expected to live this long because of my neck, I'm guessing that it will likely be what cause my death. Either the spinal cord injury or cancer from the radiation (already have growths all over my thyroid because of it) will do it. Unless of course my demise turns into a particularly slow and painful one. Then I'll die at my own hand.

More then likely, I'll die from a job related accident! I work on the river with hazardous chemicals so I'm predicting that'll be my end!!!

Of those listed, freak accident because then you wouldnt become just another statistic. Plus you might make the news.

I will be in the African wilds on a mission of peace to try and build their society into a strong developed nation. On a short tour of the bush, a big-game hunting party will come along. They will be flying over me, trying to flush out their prey, the rare albino rhino. The rhino will not see me and charge straight into me. At the exact same moment, the helicopter will suffer a critical system failure and turn into a fireball, which will of course, crash right into my carcass on the rhnios head.


Result, death by helicopter/rhino combination.

GOOD answer!

Now, it's time for someone to own up to the "STD" death. *nudge*

Hey, don't leave out the details. Where does the rhino's precious horn end up, first-to-last?

I intend to live for ever. So therefore I predict I shall die when the universe reached maximum entropy.

i hope i die before i get old

so freak accident in my 40s should do it
otherwise, i shall do it myself [sooner rather than later]

i want my death to make someone say either "she was taken too soon"
or "it was such a tragic way to go"
and i want the bee gee's 'stayin' alive' played at my funeral

I suspect I shall die aged 106, killed by the enraged girlfriend of my 20 year old athletic, good looking lover, after a marathon three day bonk-a-thon during which I experienced an uprecidented number of high quality orgasms, as did he.

This is the MOST likely scenario as far as I can tell.....

My heart is too strong to ever die of a heart-attack. My cardiologist asked me what the hell I was doing in his office the last time I went. LOL!

I suspect I'll die at about 82 or so, shot by an irate 25 year old man while climbing out his girlfriend's window. :D

I'll probably die of a stroke - it's what's killed off most of my family. It's actually one of the most common causes of death in the developed world, but generally ignored.

Let's see...1 in 3 chance of getting cancer, 1 in 5 chance of having a heart attack. That's better than a 1 in 2 chance of having one of the two, so probably one of those.
However, I plan on living forever. So far, so good.

Meh. I intend to eventually get senile, strip my clothes off and challenge someone to a duel to the death with swords for insulting my honor.

Or I intend to bacon myself to death. If you don't love bacon I'll say you're a fascist motherfucker. I once ate a diner that only had turkey bacon, and that was pretty close to my final hour. If the omelette I ate hadn't been spectacular, I would have rampaged through the place, looting and killing and eventually dying in a hail of bullets. But, it -was- spectacular, and I allowed them to continue their wretched existance.

Or I'll die, strapped to a bed in a lunatic asylym, wracked by wild hallucinations. I like mushrooms.

30-03-2006, 15:09
I cant even speculate how I'll go. I've made it through several violent scenarios that should have been it. Two spectacular accidents.
My heart is strong, cancer doesnt run in my family. I've never had an STD. I dont smoke, drink very moderately now.

It could be anything at any time. Apparently I'm very resilient and very lucky.
