I started thinking about this in another thread, and I figured this was as good a topic as any to put the collectively morbid minds of NSG toward:
What is the lamest way to die? Toe cancer? Ear infection? Seasonal allergies? Got an example of someone who went that way?

There should be a poll up soon, but I might choke on a pea between now and then.

Falling pantsless from a high place, and getting your foot snagged in a cable, suspending you in water just low enough that your head is under the water.
Ten seconds later, the piranahs come.

Choking to death on someone else's vomit.

That totally beats any answer I was going to come up with - is there a clinical name for the phobia of choking to death on someone else's vomit? I have just acquired it

Or perhaps getting a pie in the face, and asphyxiating on some custard.

How about a whoopie-cushion-induced heart attack?

Post, naturally. I'll be a amicable cyborg, spending my days living in and running historical simulations, working on and off when I need the funds, gathering knowledge from across the universe and expanding my collection of rare books coins and fine wines.

But if I'm threatened, I'll demonstrate that my urbane exterior conceals the finest in advanced weapon control systems.

Isn't that redundant? If not, to what does "autoerotic" refer? A Porsche? :eek:
A sexual partner may or may not be involved in the act, however, if one is excluded the practice can be referred to as autoerotic asphyxiation, or AEA. Various methods are used to achieve the level of oxygen depletion needed such as a plastic bag over the head or self-strangulation, typically by the use of a ligature (scarfing). The increased pleasure results from the body producing more endorphins as it approaches the state of asphyxia. Pleasurable or not, it is an extremely dangerous practice that results in many accidental deaths each year.[1]

so just making sure that it's definatly without the partner. A partner could be participating in Mutual Masturbation. thus the clarification of being alone. ;)

Hmm. How about...

You come down with an extremely rare form of encephalitis that is cured through the heroic efforts of doctors, but ultimately causes some paralysis in your legs. You spend months on intensive therapy, making small strides, and after about a year of extreme effort, you regain the ability to walk again and are back to how you were before the illness. You are discharged, and on your way across the road to a fancy restaurant (seeking some real food for a change) a speeding driver decides to ignore the pedestrian crossing light and you are killed when your head smashes through his windscreen. (He escapes unscathed, by the way, and by some miracle is found innocent of all charges)

Actually, my dad almost died from toe cancer(Technically bone cancer centered in the toe). Fortunately, it was caught in time, and he didn't listen to the dickhead "Specialist" who wanted to put him through experimental chemo-therapy(He got damn lucky-An opening at the Mayo Clinic opened up the day before he was to start the treatment-and the doctors there were dumbfounded why the previous doctor suggested something like that when all that really needed to be done was amputate the toe). Suffice to say, had he gone much longer with it, it was likely to have spread, and had he not gone to mayo, the chemo would practically have killed him. Wierd luck like that seems to run in our family.

Ho-well, a tangent.(And no-this is not a late April Fool's joke-it's actually true).
