When do you know your death has come?

[alice]

Hmm...I can't seem to figure out how. So can you tell me?

[YT2095]

you cannot know it unless it involves inviolable laws of Physics, and then you`re onto a reasonably safe bet

 

IE/ falling several 100+ feet without suitable protection, or staying underwater for an hour or 2 without O2 etc...

When the omnipotent universe-encompassing ultraconsciousness left at the end of the consciousness singularity extracts your information from the causal fabric of spacetime

[sabbath]

not everybody's given the chance to know.

 

probability, destiny, fate, luck, karma, coincidence, just because.

 

you have all the uncontrollable factors in the world to reckon with.

 

unless...you time your death yourself. but then you'll never be too sure. something just might happen.

call me daft, but i didn't get a word of it.

[insane_alien]

you probably know its coming when you get that pain in your chest and the tingly feeling shooting up your left arm/side.

[JohnB]

I guess the rather "thin" fellow in the black robe carrying a scythe might be a not so subtle hint?

[insane_alien]

no thats just jim. he works on the farm down the road.

[mr d]

I'M AFRAID SO, YOUR DEAD

AFRAID SO

 

 

mr d

a thousand apologies to terry pratchett

[alice]

what is the skeletal fellow's name? i think i saw a glimpse of him once.

[JohnB]

what is the skeletal fellow's name?

Death. Tall, skinny, loves cats and curry. His main hobby is watching a Wizzard called Rincewind.

 

How many of us read Terry Pratchett?

It depends. If he asks you for a couple of obols for a boat ride his name is Charon. Look for an oar instead of a scythe.

The leading cause of death is life.

[alice]

The leading cause of death is life.

 

Explain yourself.

[Guest azureflame]

The leading cause of death is life.

 

I kinda agree with him... You die because you live... Death exists because there is life... Something like light and dark... One cannot exist with the other..

[sabbath]

I kinda agree with him... You die because you live... Death exists because there is life... Something like light and dark... One cannot exist with the other..

 

one cannot exist without the other...I'm obsessed with typos!

[alice]

something like yin and yang, right?

[Glider]

The leading cause of death is life.

Yeah. If you think about it that way, life is a sexually transmitted terminal condition.

 

It's the only one contracted by someone not involved in the act too.

[Genecks]

When you refuse to transcend, and when you decide to become immutable.

 

You only fail when you choose to fail.

Its the grim reaper.

 

I think death has occurred when you just stop thinking at all.

[alt_f13]

Yeah. If you think about it that way' date=' life is a sexually transmitted terminal condition.

AIDS?

 

And I just realized, Darth Vader killed the emperor, so he was the chosen one after all.

 

So, like, I'm sure that has something to do with this topic.

 

Plus, Luke's an idiot for fantasizing about his sister.

Interesting answer. Why do you think so? Because the brain isn't functioning anymore? Your mind is dead?
