Dave Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 Well it would be cool to die like Dave from 2001:A Space Odyssey.Well at least I think he died? Nope, he got absorbed into the programming of the big rectangular thing I can't rightly remember the name of.
Dave Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 Uhh, who would want to live with no arms or legs. I would have thought that for someone who originally wanted to kill himself, this would be a rather ironic (and somewhat unpleasant) outcome.
Sayonara Posted May 16, 2004 Author Posted May 16, 2004 Nope, he got absorbed into the programming of the big rectangular thing I can't rightly remember the name of. The Monolith.
Dave Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 That's the one. Great book though, especially towards the end. Pity the movie wasn't so good
Phi for All Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 After making sure my family is taken care of financially, I use my last billion dollars to get a truly worthy woman elected president of the United States. Since she owes no favors to anyone but me, she abolishes the Electoral College, makes it illegal for anyone who owns a business to also own any form of media, spends half the defense budget on alternative energy research, the other half on repairing US foreign relations, and then fully funds both the military and education with money taken from former porkbarrel projects. I die when I smile so wide my head falls off.
Searching Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 I'd actually like to die of Ebola, when the time comes. The virus fascinates me, and knowing *exactly* what it feels like would be in interesting way to go. Gain the knowledge that you can't in any lab, then lose it all.
Sayonara Posted May 28, 2004 Author Posted May 28, 2004 Just replaced those last two posts - they were accidentally chopped out along with 30 spam replies. Sorry chaps.
Phi for All Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 Sorry chaps.No need to apologize, it happens. I'm glad they found their way home. Thanks, Say!
YT2095 Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 a super sonic round from a gun to the head wouldn`t be all that bad if you never suspected it, you`de be dead before the sound even arrived! there`s an old ww2 saying that my Grandfather told me as a kid "It`s the bullet you DON`T hear that kills you" and so a shot from the blue wouldn`t be too bad.
Dave Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 Slightly off topic, but what do you think the funniest way to go out would be?
Phi for All Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 Amusement park mishap. Someone releases the governor on the Ferris Wheel and you find out about the differences in strength between the electromagnetic force and gravity.
Dave Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 rofl I think the old classic, being flattened by a grand piano is quite funny
YT2095 Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 call me old fashoined, but anything involving a banana skin would be just too funny to be beleivable
Z-space Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 Jumping out of a plane without a parachute. Free fall, what a rush. Panoramic views of the earth and sky.
Dave Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 Yeah, that's a good one, and you're not likely to feel anything on impact. Combining that with a banana skin could be interesting.
Z-space Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 "Combining that with a bannana skin could be interesting." (?!?!?!) LOL
Dave Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 "Combining that with a bannana skin could be interesting." (?!?!?!) LOL Slipping out of the plane in a comedy cartoon fashion? ofc it wouldn't be cartoon like if you didn't leave a man-shaped impression 40ft down in the ground
YT2095 Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 with a "Del Monte" banana sticker prominent on the sole of your shoe
Z-space Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification. I can almost visualize it as a Monty Python's Flying Circus routine. The camera could keep cutting back to the person falling...and falling...and falling.
YT2095 Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 this either belongs here or in my jokes thread, eitherway here`s a "Death": a man falling from a plane, his parachute fialed, on his way down he meets another man coming up, he shouts over "hey dude, know anything about parachutes?" the reply: "No mate, do you know anything about Gas cookers?"
Phi for All Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 OK, to recap, you are about to play a piano concerto at 35,000 ft in a big transport plane. You approach the piano, slip on a banana peel, pushing you and the piano out of the back of the plane. Luckily, you have your chute on, so you pull the ripcord but nothing happens. You land SPLATT, leaving a man-shaped crater, which you, still miraculously alive, poke your head out of. Just then the piano land on top of you, followed by an Acme anvil just for grins.

Now that's how I want to go
