How would you die?

[All Seeing Eye]

You are being given the death penalty and you have a choice of how to die:

1) Electric Chair
2) Hanging
3) Guillotine
4) Burnt at the stake
5) Dropped in a tub of acid
6) Firing squad
7) Drowning

How do you choose to die?

 

[DeafPoet]

Firing squad seems like the quickest and most fool-proof way to go.

 

[JuanBolio]

Of the choices you presented, I'd take the guillotine. Allowed to choose my own method, I'd select death by combat - fighting an series of increasingly larger and fiercer animals until I lost.

 

[Michael]

In one of these ...

 

[Miss Chicken]

I voted guillotine. I think it would be the quickest and the one least likely to go wrong.

 

[JimCasy]

Firing squad. Seems like it'd be pretty kickass.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

Guillotine. It's the option that's quickest, least painful, and most likely to work flawlessly.

Plus, I could make a weird face and horrify some spectators before I lost consciousness.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Firing squad.


There's always a chance they'll miss.

 

[JuanBolio]

I voted guillotine. I think it would be the quickest and the one least likely to go wrong.

Yep - also has a nice horror factor. If I'm going down, I want it to have an effect on people.

Leaping off a building with razor wire tied around my neck to that it severs my head as it snaps taught, leaving my head and decapitated body to plummet down into the crowd below would also be sufficiently awesome.

 

[Mallory]

Firing squad. There's been too many reported instances of the head living on for a period of time after the guillotine for me to put as much faith in that.

 

[Philo]

Speak for yourself, sir. I plan to live forever.

 

[JuanBolio]

Firing squad. There's been too many reported instances of the head living on for a period of time after the guillotine for me to put as much faith in that.

You go on living for awhile after being shot in the chest, too.

 

[trekkiedane]

I've always known I'll die alone.



The how doesn't concern me.

 

[Gertch]

Firing squad also.

But if I was to do the tub of acid and somehow survived, would I get a lifetime supply of white makeup and red lipstick?

 

[RandyS]

As the condemned, I'm entitled to a last request, so I'd skip your list and pick conjgial visit.

 

[Philo]

I've always known I'd die alone.

So not by falling off the side of El Capitan, then?

 

[Captain Intrepid]

If it's done properly, hanging severs the spinal cord and is instant death. Also, my body could be hung out for months as a warning to not be as awesome as me.

 

[Aragorn]

Did anyone hear about the inmate who was deemed too overweight to hang, because his weight would cause his body to rip from his head? I don't know what the resolution was, but he obviously had no incentive to diet.

 

[James Bond]

Firing squad. There's been too many reported instances of the head living on for a period of time after the guillotine for me to put as much faith in that.

Seriously. Fuck that shit. Of all the choices, a firing squad seems the least horrific.

 

[trekkiedane]

I've always known I'd die alone.

So not by falling off the side of El Capitan, then?

Nah, by that time I'll probably have a friend with rocket boots to save the day.
