How do you want to die?

If Temple of Doom was any indication, lava bath is definitely an unpleasant way to go. May you get your wish, I suppose.

Dying in a way that people could laugh about afterwards would be nice. Or something that would render an open casket funeral impossible.

there was an artist who had himself sealed, naked, in a glass coffin, so that as a final performance art piece, people could watch him decompose.

Ground zero at a nuclear explosion. From living tissue to discorporate atoms in approximately 1 microsecond. And if I'm not the person who actually presses the button on the nuclear detonator, I want to be standing close enough to see the expression on their face.

How do I wanna go out?

With a bang, if I can.

(I have no intention of living for ever, but I do intend live long.)

I actually want a very painful death. I mean what a way to end it. I want to feel my passing and know its happening.

imagine going to sleep and waking up to harps and shit.. all like "what the hell" I mean probably take the great part of nine hours to figure what exactly just happened. *l*

Holy crap, that's brilliant! I'm going to have to rip that off.

If he was sealed, wouldn't that inhibit the progress of decay?

I'd like my death to raise eyebrows, and hopefully not be too painful. Aside from that, I haven't worked it out.

On the subject of interesting post-death procedure, in one of my classes we watched an interview with a gentleman who had gotten nearly his entire body tatooed. He intends to have his skin tanned and leave it to his tattoo artist. Apparently he's got it all set up. *shrugs*

Probably . . . and possibly part of the point. The piece would last a lot longer that way, neh?

I think having a headsized comet cleanly remove and incinerate my head would be pretty cool and painless.

tough to arrange, though.

Only if you ran around and sprayed blood on everyone around you.

I want to die at some point after I've had sex.
And not just any sex. GOOD sex.

And as for method, I'd like to go via old age. In my sleep.

So you're living forever, then.

Aside from jail sex, for a man, there is ONLY good sex.

Shh... don't spoil that part of the plan.

I would like to say at this point that this is proof that my brain is far more dirty than Noise Monkey's.

Firstly I don't know why anyone would want immortality, it's grossly overrated. Think about it, you live forever, so because of that you will outlive everyone that you love. God I'd wish I could die after seeing everyone I have ever loved die...but I wouldn't be able to cause i'm immortal!

Now then how I want to die!!

Going out in a blaze of glory. I want my death to be monumental, something like I save the universe or something, so then my name will be known by all and I will have monuments. Also all people who know me will get nice paydays to talk about me and what they think may have caused me to be such a great hero.

It's win/win for me and everyone I hold dear.

Yeah, I imagine it would be. Rather like ruling the world, or something.

As for post-mortem arrangements, I want to be cremated in secret. And then I want a casket buried with a robotic duplicate of myself, that after a preset amount of time will burst forth from the coffin and scare the crap out of whoever happens to be nearby.
