How do you want to die?

You'd love the ending of Blade Runner, if you don't love it already. That was actually a pretty cool way to go, poetically, rainy and everything.

Great movie. That quote is widely attributed to Hemingway, though I don't remember it from anything I have read. I saw it years ago as a list of "why did the chicken cross the road jokes", and that was listed as Hemingway's answer. I've always liked it.
 
After expending all the ammo from my .22, my .45, my .44mag, 30-30, my .270 my 45-70, my shotgun, my AR and after running out of gas for my chainsaw. I want to be bitten on the neck by that arrant Zombie that always seems to sneak up behind you.

As in Fido, "You can have a funeral if you want Bill, Timmy and I are going Zombie."

Didn't Thelma and Louise show us the best way? :D

Wait, I don't get it... Why did the chicken cross the road?

Because he had a "Walk" signal
Because he had to catch a bus that was on the other side of the road
Because he wanted to pretend being a duck crossing the road
Because there was an Apple store across the street.
 
I started this out thinking I'd like to die in an interesting way, something comical, completely freaky or maybe even heroic. That will be my official answer but in truth I don't really care because it's the end. What matters to me more is those I'm leaving behind and what I've done with my life before dying.

However I die, I would like to know that I've lived well and experienced the things I really wanted to. That's just my mortality talking though, I'm quite certain I won't have any concept of any of this once I'm gone. Curtains.

Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock…
 
I would like to die watching a black hole devour the sun, it would be a most beautiful site as we got closer to the "tail" and the earth starts to be pulled apart.

It would also be terrific knowing that all the evil of our race is wiped out in the process before were able to spread it out to other worlds. Perhaps i am a bit pessimistic just now so my view may change as i get older.

I most certainly do not want to die fighting some pointless war for oil, power, land, religion. And if someone is coming at me with a weapon be it a gun or a knife or whatever you can imagine i am not going out without a fight, there is plenty time to do some damage even if you have been shot.

A meaning less death over something silly is not for me, i want to push as much of my life as possible and not hope for some magical reward at the end as these religions promise if you be a good sheep.
 
Overwhelmed by a united nations of 20yr old nubile, bisexual, female underwear models. Death certificate would simply state as cause of death "Exhaustion"
 
To quote the great Panda:
When I am on my deathbed, I will turn to the person nearest me, and whisper "the prophecy has come true!" Then die.

Woah. What about when you say it's time to go, in a way you have an element of control over/QUOTE]
Aside from suicide we have little to no control of when and how to Die. His post is on target and accurate. Its no more scary then any of the other posts.

I'm with the other person who posted the reference to 1 cor 15:51-57. My hope is that I'll never need to taste death but even if I do, I know as a Christian, I'll be in heaven afterwards.

Don't much care how, more when. I have no desire to leave my partner alone or be left alone should she die before me.
