In what manner would you prefer to die? Not talking about suicide, sorry.

Asleep in bed at some very old age? Expiring right after incredible sex? Hit by a bus without warning? Dying while trying to save someone else (and succeeding in saving them while you expire)?

And how old would you want to be? Or do some of you want to live for much longer than the normal human lifespan?

Yeah option 3 for me.

I was talking about this very thing a few nights ago with some friends, and I asked the question, if you could halt the age of your body at anyage you want and yet still live an extra 200 years would you?

I could not belive the amount of people that said no, and get this the reason? It would be too boring! What 2000 years, you still wouldn't have time to do everything, but think would you could do with 2000 years, boring! I just couldn't belive it.

I'm already dead. *wooOOOoooOoooOOOOoooooOOooo*

Something very epic and dramatic.

extra 200 or 2000 years?

I would probably take it, it dont htink it will be boring, in 2000 years you could probably climb to the position of "emperor of earth"

I'm already dead. *wooOOOoooOoooOOOOoooooOOooo*
*dials 555-2020*

Something sudden. If it's quick I'm not so bothered about pain.

Not planning on dying, sorry.

Something very epic and dramatic.

...and trying (and maybe succeeding) to take down someone evil down with you.

There's something appealing in dying amidst scores of fallen enemies, battleaxe in hand..

But since that's not likely to happen, I'll settle for living a couple of thousand years without aging, only to unexpectedly explode in a cloud of green, runny feces.

in a way where a) I cant feel it & b) I dont know about it until it's too late

Though I suppose if I must, something that would make people get all teary-eyed when they're reminded how I went would be nice. :p How's that old joke go? I want to go peacefully, like my Uncle Bob, not screaming like the passengers on his bus.

The whole "hit by a bus and don't feel it" would be my choice, except that I was already hit by a semi truck and survived.... I didn't fel anything, my first conscious memory was being in the hospital room and thinking I was in florida. The problem with dieing like that (as my friend who was with me did:( ) is you don't get to have any cool last word's. before we were hit we were singing a homosexual parody of a Disturbed song: "Ten Thousand Dicks" (like 10,000 fists, only the gay version.) yeah, , these are not good last words:
"You will remember the night you were shocked by the size of...... Ten thousand dicks in the air!!!!!"
I wish to see my death coming.
And you don't know when you're dead. I was in a stage 4 coma for a bit, and that pretty much = dead.

I'm not entirely sure, but one way I don't want to go out is in my sleep.

When death comes for me, I want to be awake and alert, I want both eyes open - I want to stare death in the face as he takes me away.

Death is one of the most important parts of life. I'd like to be there when it happens.

... Also, I want it really spectacular. I want a statue of me built after my death, damn it! High schools named after me, memorial parks, public squares, I wanna be a hero!

I don't want to live forever. I'd get bored.

I plan on dying aged 60, either through natural causes or by a shotgun.

I would like to live just past the point that I annoy my husband, I would like to die in a freak accident so that when people ask "what happened?" and he explains it either a) makes them laugh or b) freaks them out

;)

Id not want 2000 extra years of aging.

Id also not want to die slowly of a wasting disease.

I dont want to die in my sleep either. I only plan on doing it once so I want to be there when it happens.

Other than that Im not too picky about how it happens, although as far as my legacy goes Id prefer that no loved ones witness my death as it would probably upset them.

I want to jump off a tall building. But first, tie a rope around my neck, and the other end to a part fo the building that wont break off. Then I glue my hand to my head. So when the rope tightens, hopefully there will be enough force to sever the neck. Then my lifeless body will fall to the ground, and I am holding my own head.

Some quick and final death which gives just enough warning for me to complete the thought "Interesting..." Such as driving around a bend towards a truck illegally overtaking another, and dying before I notice its direction of motion and the implications.

That would be quite merciful.

But for most of us, it will probably be a slow lingering death that begins on a living room carpet, continues in an ambulance and ends in a hospital coridoor.

Gee, what a cheery thought. Guess I'd better keep the carpet vacuumed, huh?

I just hope someone finds me before the pie burns, is all.

*sigh* that's tragically brilliant. I can just picture it.

I've got a wooden floor in the living room. That comment clearly didn't apply to me.

I'd prefer to fall asleep in the way I normally do and then die without warning.

I once had a premonition that I would die when I was 44...that seems like long enough for me.

I want to be junping out of a skyscraper window in slo-mo with 2 uzis in my hands so I can watch the RPG stream right to my head.

Now, that sounds like a good death.

I want to be going off a building, as well. I'd like to be wearing nothing but a top hat.
Another would be right after great sex, I really don't see that happening, hell I don't see that happening ever, but I can dream can't I?

I want to be a spacecraft plummeting to Earth while having sex in zero gravity

Sometime before turning 26. Possibly involving a gun.

I want to be really old. I want to see my grandkids and maybe great-grandkids. I want to be in moderately good health, relatively speaking. And go to sleep one night in the arms of my life-long partner and friend. And neither of us wake up again.

I want to get run over by a glacier. :)

flying an SR-71 blackbird into a very large rock

either that or somehow managing to fully decapitate myself with a battle-ax

I actually would prefer to die by suicide.

that would get on CNN no doubt

One word: microfilament.

Physically impossible.

And put your head on the pike?

*tears well up*

*tears well up*
Depends on what kind of pie.

Baking myself into a pack of pretzels, but a very dangerous pack, left on Bush's desk by a careless attendant, so that I could die knowing that I might well have finished the bastard off, and maybe Cheney and Rumsfeld too, if I'm lucky.

That, or possibly being fired out of a cannon with a spike on my head which would impale a pack of Kettle Chips, so that I could enjoy them in the afterlife (which I don't think exists, but whatever).

Physically impossible.

how do you know?

i'm listening to the end by the doors. Great song, very depressing though.

sacrificing myself for something I really believe in or love after saying something really witty and memorable!

or doing something really fun and laughing my head off!

yeah that or you could just be buried with a bag of kettle chips

And put your head on the pike?

exactly, make an example out of myself
"THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DISOBEY ME"

how do you know?
Because something can't fall to earth in zero gravity.:rolleyes:

i'd hire someone to do that
Good man.

I'd like to dy by having a tactical nuclear strike fired directly at me, landing on my head. None of this airburst shit, I want to look up and have a horrible realisation of "Oh, shit." And I want it to land on my head, killin me instantly before the nuke goes off. Then, the explosion vaporizes my body. So they never know if they hit me. All of this just because I want to have pissed off some government that much.

Although really, I'd prefer to live forever.

How would I like to die?

Getting torn down in a hail of bullets as I storm the barricades along with the vanguard of the inevitable revolution against our opressors

I wish to die from a very quick heart attack after a 5-some with supermodels (not ex-supermodels) on top of a pile of money

sounds good, only these supermodels wont be rakes i hope?

Aren't they always? I prefer women with a little more flesh on them...particularly up there behind the eyes.

Oooh! I want to change mine!

I want to join the Detroit Police Department, then get shot to death by a gang of dangerous criminals, and then be rebuilt into a cybernetic crime fighting machine by a giant multinational corporation!

I want to be Alex Murphy...

I want to be Robocop.

I want to die eating myself.

I want my throttle to stick on my scooter and run into a toaster at full speed! That would be pretty cool!

Death is for the weak.

homos are weak

Awww c'mon baby!

I know you want me!

Cheap edit.

He's weak, too. Get 'im.

I'd want to die in a huge cataclysmic explosion in the enemy alien base while I save the world but unfortunately die in the process. Like I set the bomb but its fuse is too short so I wait for everyone in our army to leave before arming it, holding off alien soldiers alone while this happens. And then I find the alien control room and send a message back to Earth while the final countdown is running down to zero. I'd send back my will, and then some kind of weird phrase for final words, like..."LEEERROOOYYY...JEEENNKINNNS!" and then they will hear the explosion, and just before I am consumed, I will utter "'Least I ain't chicken."
That's how I'd like to go.

I hope no one else has said this:
HUGE lightening bolt... that shoots through my millennia-old body after I've found and defeated the last remaining Highlander.

Death by succubus.

Hmm. Well, being much closer to "the end" than you are ( hopefully for your sake ), I've actually given this a bit of thought. I most definitely do NOT want to die after having been hooked up to machines and tubes for months or years, which is why I've done my best to provide legally airtight methods for preventing that. I suppose if I had my choice, I would much prefer to just wander out into one of the great forests we have here in North Carolina. I don't want to be a burden to my children, so taking a cue from the Nez Perce Indians and just disappearing into the wilderness when I get too feeble to care for myself would be preferable. But there's a bit of a conflict between that option and wanting a military funeral, so I'm still a bit unsure. Sigh. Decisions, decisions. ;)

I want to live a very long time, save a loved one, and die after great sex

I want to live a very long time, save a loved one, and die after great sex

Yeah, I'm looking for something like that. The part about saving a loved one kind of helps when I have to explain who and what exactly killed me...

great minds think alike, wait, you have a great mind right?

If by great you mean "great ideas on ways to die", then yes.

Everyone said that. :P

That's what you get for taking a tour. :p

I'd like to go out in some way that makes everyone chuckle on the inside a little. maybe dying on the toilet or being killed by a flock of seagulls (birds not the haircut, although the cut def has the power to take one's life). I really dont much care if its painful or not, just as long as its funny.

I'll put you down for being arbitrarily hit by a bus. :p

I tend not to think of death. That way, I'm not afraid. I'm always paranoid though. I sometimes believe that a nuclear bomb will explode in the distance and
there's nowhere to go or nothing to do about it. That actually wouldn't be too bad.

Unless it was far enough away that you slowly died of irradiation decades later.

Think Bon Scott, think Jimi Hendrix. I want the rock star death. I want to drown in my own vomit. :p

Now, that sounds like a good death.

Perhaps both? Great sex in a top hat.
