How do you want to die?

Just once in my lifetime, I'd like to see the reaction when wife asks: "Do I look fat in this?" and I answer "Honey, yes, you do." Unfortunately, that would have to be my very last act on Earth.

I tell my girlfriend that all the time (only if it's actually true, though!).
Still together after 3 years. Still alive, on top of that.
As for how I want to die: when I had enough, and tell my doctors to stop cloning new body parts for me so I could die.
Well, at least it would be quick!Just once in my lifetime, I'd like to see the reaction when wife asks: "Do I look fat in this?" and I answer "Honey, yes, you do." Unfortunately, that would have to be my very last act on Earth.
Ahem, that's the difference between a GF and being married.
Once they have a paper document, things change.

Once they have your ballz, things change.
Fixed for you.
I don't know how I am going to die, but I have awesome funeral plans. A bullet shaped lead weighted skydiving helmet put on the head of my bundled corpse then dropped from a plane. If I get it right I'll bury myself.
Squashed under a load of yet-to-be-released iMacs falling off the warehouse shelves ... I'm free tomorrow.

Well in seriousness, some women actually want a truthful answer to that dangerous question and won't get upset at the answer. We are all our own worst critics and this is especially true of women. Often we'll look in the mirror and think "does this look as awful as I am seeing or am I just being too hard on myself" and sometimes it helps to have an outsider's perspective. I'm appreciative of an honest answer on the occasions I ask this loaded question. Your woman and mileage may vary.
Well im not religious at all and I find all religion ********, it causes more problems then it solves. I believe that when we dies the cells in our body decompose, none of this afterlife ****.
Anyway, to the original question:
If im gonna go, I want to go with a bang, so a violent bloody death would suit me eg falling off something high headfirst. I wouldn't mind being murdered so then people will have to investigate my death. I really don't give a **** though coz even if its painfull, your going to die anyway and its not like you will remember it.
EDIT: If I am not horribly mutilated I want my organs to become specimens for those models at museums, so someone can be educated because of me. And whatever is left just burn it and feed the fishes.

That can be arranged for.
But it's best you fill out the paperwork while you're living. For instance, this is where you get information and the paperwork to donate your body to the people behind the #1 touring show, Body Worlds:http://www.koerperspende.de/en/body_donation/the_body_donation.html
I think I read somewhere they have so many offers that they currently just take all applications and then make actual arrangements later for the logistics if they need it at some point.
Other options include donating organs to help the living (process varies based on your locality due to legality, requirements, etc.) or corpse to medical schools for research or educational purposes. These, too, also generally require filling out forms and possibly having it notarized while living. So don't wait until you die before filling out the paperwork.
But not before discovering where All The Left Socks In The Universe go!
(...obscure?)
Your imagery above reminded me of this depressing but profound xBox ad in the UK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6zgQH3tUKk (It was a TV ad, but it got a lot of complaints. Possibly NSFW - depending on where you work)
In theory, yes... but generally, one is a Christian because he or she was raised that way.
For little kids, it's hard to fully grasp and understand the idea of what death really is.
That being said, I do think one of the reasons why there are more elderly people in church is because they're afraid of death.
But to say that one is a Christian because he or she fears death is incorrect.
I sped-read that statement and thought you said "pursued by a beer." It made so much sense, in a grand poetic sort of way.
I concur!Fixed for you.
Much better stated than I did. Ha ha!
OMG. The mother of all beers...I sped-read that statement and thought you said "pursued by a beer." It made so much sense, in a grand poetic sort of way.
...was it a draft or bottle?

Obit to read: "Squashed by a beer bottle, but at least went out happy."

I wish I had thought to say that! I think that might be how Charles Bukowski died. Him and Jack Kerouac and all my heroes, perhaps!
