if you knew you were going to die in exactly 49 hours 2 minutes and 53 seconds how would you spend the rest of your time alive?

you are in perfectly good shape to do just about anything you wanted to do and you only have $10,000 available to you.

it turns out you are dying of a rare condition that they cant even explain why it happens and the end result is your brain instantly disapears

If i had more time, i would travel to all the places i want to see, but there's too many places i want to go to do it in two days. With 49 hours i would just spend it with those i love and try to make the most of the two days i have. I wouldn't even need the money. When your brain dies, you die, so the moment my brain disappeared, i would be gone. Not much i can do about that.

Buy an military surplus black-ops equipment pack. Go to D.C. Assassinate the president and as much of the Electoral College as possible.

I would find Benny Hinn, the Evangelical faith healer. Using careful timing, I would arrange to join the group of those he is healing that day and as the last few seconds tick away, and Benny put his hands on my head, I'd DIE!

:D

Geez, I suppose I'd finally will myself into calling Erin...

YES! Perfect! Especially if you ensure they're filming it live.

As for me, I'd be wif my girlfriend the whole time, more than likely.

i'd take a cocktail of lots of uppers then run about maniacally for 42hrs, then spend the rest of my time getting stoned and drunk watching 80's cartoons (especially danger mouse) and eating dark chocolate hobnobs. i'd go out laughing or asleep and with a nice taste in my mouth.

I'd buy a new ps2 game, a few controllers and a multitap, some comedy DVDs, plenty of munch and tasty drinks, get some decent bongs/ pipes, about 200 cigarettes, at least 200g Drum gold, plenty of filters, several packets of different types of rolling papers, blunt skins, a THC grinder and 2 ounces of pot (1oz hash, 1oz skunk).

The rest of the money (save a few hundred just in case) can go to whatever political movement/ charity i feel most deserving. Invite a few close friends over for one final big smoke.

The depressing thing is, I got really excited thinking about that.

I also thought about traveling west to the International Date Line and with about 12 hours to live, I'd cross it, ending up 12 hours after my predestined moment of death and thus cheating my way into eternal life.

But who the hell wants to be immortal?!? I'd rather discredit Benny Hinn. :)

Hah, welcome to the cia watchlist.

Not that I'd report anything, just that I'd be paranoid to say even anything like that. BLACK HELICOPTERS!


I'd spend the money and blow myself up somehow before my time ran out. Take that Death!

Two words: crime spree.














*chuckles*

No, not really. But I think I'd drain my savings in a non-stop orgy of excess and uhh... orgying and stuff. Somewhere in there, though, I'd like to make a point of vomiting profusely all over Steven Harper's haircut should the opportunity present itself. Failing Steven Harper, either Brian Mulroney or Mike Harris would do just as well.

i think i would get a plane to take me to a good altitude giving me a minute or so of free fall, jump out when i only have 30 seconds left and enjoy the way down, maybe while talking to someone on the phone to

Try to time your jump so you die 1 second from impact and find somewhere(or someone) interesting to aim yourself toward.

Like David Blaine. :)

Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean"

I'm the music man.

ha! someone should suggest that to him for his next 'trick'. i'd pay to see that.

Pay off any debts I have, say goodbye, and let people know how much they really mean to me. Seems like the sort of thing I would want to do if I knew I had a very limited time left.

Call all my friends and have the hugest party ever lasting until i die. Getting absolutely hammered, stoned and trying all the other drugs. Screw everybody else, any pretence i care about anyone else is blatantly false (and don't deny the same is true for you).

I don't know maybe watch the first two seasons of 24 or something.

Overrated. A few episodes of mystery science theatre would be time better spent, methinks.

Maybe you would, maybe you wouldn't. It's likely no-one on here has had to deal with their mortality in the way the OP said, so meh.

I'd buy a bunch of Macintoshes, and rent a helicopter. I would hire a pilot to fly me over Bill Gates house. I would then proceed to drop as Macintoshes onto his lawn/house. When I die, I would fall into his pool and remain there until the police inevitably arrive.

After calling my family and closest friends to tell them that I love them, I would sleep. I've always wanted to die in my sleep.

Is the Electorial College located in DC?
(I honestly do not know ... I assumed they were possibly in their home states)

During meetings and lawmakings and the such they're all there.

Two words: Pity sex.

Oh, I'd also take out a massive life insurance policy and leave it to my family and to charity in my will.

First, for 24 hours or so, party. Get drunk, stoned, and try all the shit I never have. And do some acid or something. Some psychedelic. Then, I'd buy a bunch of explosives, guns, etc. Then go out and kill as many people as I can. Go out with a bang.

Also, as I die at exactly that time, I'm technically invincible till then.

I'd:
1)Make things right with God
2)Make things right with all I love
3)Then I'd dress up in a clown outfit and tie myself to a grocery cart filled armed with a paintball gun, pushed down hill and start sniping people

Well, I know one thing; I wouldn't wait for it, I'd finish myself off a little early after setting my life in order. Otherwise the waiting would be excruciating.

I would write something, probably. I don't know what, but I'd spend twenty hours or so writing something, trying to accomplish something with the little time I had left. I'd spend the rest of the time sleeping, but being careful to be awake two or three hours before the deadline so that my death would be under my conscious control and not caused by something else.

IF you're brain disappears, it could still exist...

Anyway...too many to list. But I would probably do a lot of Evil Knevil crap: jump off buildings, bridge mountains...

Yeah, I've noticed.
:eek:

First, I'd max out all my credit cards and see about borrowing as much as possible. Fuck you, capitalist oppressors with your loans and your providing me with capital which I don't currently have to purchase services in the present based on the promise of seeing financial returns.
Next, I'd have a nice little crime spree, a spree which will, by the by, involve a helicopter at some point, either blowing it up or hijacking it and using it as a shooting platform, I've always wanted to do either one.
Finally, I don't like the whole "brain vanishing"-thing, so I'll arrange to suffer a horrible demise before the 49 hour mark. Ideally, something really gorey and painful because you only get to die once, and wasting it on some easy, painless escape seems so stupid.

I'd gather as many friends & family I could, go out for a fantastic meal, then the session to end all sessions at the pub. Probably watch the 1990 Grand Final on DVD again too.

ahh... but what would happen if you didn't? Die that is. ;)

I wouldn't do anything different except...

Set up my Last Will and Testement.

I would take a couple of days off from work. stating family emergency.

Gather my family and friends for one last gathering... but not tell them why.

make my final posts on NS.

set up my email to send out goodbyes to everyone 24 hours after I go. explaining the details of what happened.

Clean my apartment.

take a sleeping pill 3 hrs before I die.

and go to sleep. :)

Next, I'd have a nice little crime spree, a spree which will, by the by, involve a helicopter at some point, either blowing it up or hijacking it and using it as a shooting platform, I've always wanted to do either one....a re-enactment of one or two of the chapters from Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas, perhaps?

I would go to a bookmaker and put the ten grand on the exact time of death by natural causes, write my will to include the money won from the bookmaker, have loads of sex with my girlfriend, join every religion in the world and confess (just in case...), say goodbye to everyone and at last, go to a hospital so they can make sure no foul-play is involved and the bookmaker has to pay up:)

after thinking about it. while my first post is what I would most likely do.... what I want to do is grab a laptop... any old clunker would do... and program it to crash the harddrive when certain keys are hit. also program it to scroll though some impresive mathamatical equations rapidly. then fly to the National Science Institue, run up to their head man and scream, "I found it... the answer to cold fusion... endless power without pollution or danger to human life, see here... everyone made a slight mathamatical mistake.... the correct equation right over... and 1 second before I keel over, I hit those keys to cause the drive to physically crash.... and then I die.

I think I wouldn't do anything... I'd just quitely, happily wait for my brain to disappear.

after thinking about it. -SNIP-

Hehe, good one... you could also have the cure for cancer and/or AIDS or maybe a mathematical formula proving that it's possible to go above the speed of light/travel in time... good concept!

My birthday was yesterday, May 15th! I am a 20 year old chick and this is my STORY of how it would GO... (By the way... I have Never been in trouble before... I am a G00D Girl! *giggles* Honestly...)

If I were told exactly when I would die...

First, I would argue with that Doctor!!! Then after 15 minutes, I would ask where my F*ckin' $10,000 is!!! I would slap the doctor hard then run to my MONEY! After getting the money, I would run to the military and tell them my husband better be on a plane FAST! I would flash them the $10,000 and they would call up Iraq and have my hubby start packing. I tell them to get him a plane ticket to Switzerland!!! Then I would get in my hubby's truck... And try to drive his truck to a gun store! (His truck is a standard... Not that I don't know HOW to drive one, but I don't have a license... I don't want one either!) I would Buy two AWESOME guns... Put silencers on them... And a lot of Bullets!!! Then I would drive to a dealership and buy the fastest, newest, "pertiest", BLACKEST car I can find there! It would be an automatic too! Lol. Then I would say let's test drive it... After driving away from the lot I would follow directions for a little bit then Speed off And when he says no turn around... I hit the brakes and then pull out my gun and tell him to get out or I will shoot... After he gets out... I drive about a block... turn around and shoot his @$$!!! Then on the way to the Airport, I would rob EVERY bank in sight... And I would kill everyone I hate and think everyone would be happier without! LoL!!! Hahaha! On the way to the to the airport I would call and arrange the fastest possible flight to Switzerland! After robbing all the banks and being slick about it... I would drop off a BiG bag of money at my MOM'S House! Then I would be on my way to the Airport... And this all has taken 6 hours to do... I killed a lot of people and robbed a lot of banks... If I needed another vehicle... I would park 2 blocks away and go test drive another vehicle and kill the guy with me the same way... Then go pick up my SH!T from the other car... I would run into the mall two hours before take off and buy luggage and a few items of clothing to cover my stolen cash... Then I would drive to the Airport and I would set the bag with my guns in it down by a bench and leave it... Inside would be a confession that I killed everyone and stole everything... But... "Ha to the F*ckin' Ha HA... Because I will soon be dead!!!" Then I get on the plane and it takes off... 7 hours later I land in Switzerland! My Honey is waiting for me... Not knowing that I killed many people to get there... Not knowing that I would be dying soon... 15 hours has passed since being told... I grab my bags and I tell hubby lets go buy a car... We get to dealership and buy the coolest car... I told him the money is from winning the lottery... We go to fancy hotel and we have the best night of our lives together... Then I tell him what I have done... And what will soon happen... Only 18 hours left... and I tell him... He doesn't believe... But I tell him exact details then I turn to a US news channel and he finds out that it is true... 13 hours left... I tell him I love him and that I want to be near him when my brain disappears... Lol... But that I don't want him to see me die or be blamed for my death... and that I don't know what will happen... So, lets go to an amusement park... So, He agrees and we ride rides for the last 8 hours of my life... I tell him that I want to be in the first seat when I die... With him beside me... Then I want him to SUE the Amusement park, because I died on their ride!!! LOL. I give him one last kiss before the ride starts and I hold my hands up - while holding Hubby's hand too - the whole time... Well... Until my brain disappears at least...

And that is my Story... And what I would do... Sorry it was so long... Lol.

I'd say you won the thread! Good job, sport!

Drink about three bottles of whiskey. Why prolong the inevitable?

Commit suicide immediately and/or spend the whole time stoned or drunk. Why waste time on reflection and regret? :p

That, or blow up the entire Bush Administration, then go on the above.

If I absolutely knew I only had two days to live?


Assassin.

*snip*

...Wow...If you're really a "Good girl", I think we have some repression to deal with...that sounds like there's been some thought put into it.

After porn, drinking and pity sex/pity wank I'd try and find an amusing place for my body to be found. Some strangers bedroom perhaps. I could burst in just before my brain disappears and yell 'SUPRISE!'. I'd also get a 'If found please return to the Whitehouse' tatoo.

Nuke the world lol:gundge:

...what, no porn? :(

no, but i might find someone sexy to watch the cartoons with and to hold as i gradually pass out :D. also i would intend to cause some serious damage to the government while i'm running about on the uppers :p

You all know you would spend your last minutes here at NS General.
Contender to Lunatic Goofballs, i dare say.
The final countdown here -the last vestiges of l'esprit l'escalier, i'd wager. *nods*

You all know you would spend your last minutes here at NS General.Not the last few minutes probably, but certainly a few in the two days..
I'd probably not do much I wouldn't do anyway. Except spend the $10,000.

you are in perfectly good shape to do just about anything you wanted to do and you only have $10,000 available to you.

it turns out you are dying of a rare condition that they cant even explain why it happens and the end result is your brain instantly disapears

I'd spend it with my family, trying my damn'dist to break through communication and generational barriers. I'd stress that I'm dieing soon if I had to.. to get them to let their guard down. Gah! It'd be a job. It would suck. I'd also be talking to God, throughout the time ofcourse.

Good idea. On reflection, i'd wear a Superman outfit and jump out of a plane with no parachute while over the city centre.

Get all my family up to Taranaki. Spend my final time around family. Having a good time enjoying the company of cousins and having a good feed-singing a few songs. I dunno.

I'd probably want to spend as much of the time left to me as possible with my family and friends; then, I could dedicate the last few hours to reading the Bible and praying in order to mentally prepare to meet Jesus and enter into His kingdom. I can't decide whether I'd mostly be sad because I'm leaving friends and family behind, or happy about going to Heaven. I don't think I'd need the money for anything.

...Wow...If you're really a "Good girl", I think we have some repression to deal with...that sounds like there's been some thought put into it.

No, I really am... And it was a joke at first... Too much roleplaying in that insane world... on that one website... They are bringing out my EVIL side! *giggles* Well, let's just say... I haven't done anything in roleplay except faint twice, but I think I will let the evil slip out sooner rather than later in it... Who knows what will happen! *laughs maniacally*

That condition wouldn't affect me, so I'd just continue on as normal.
