I'm sure you've all asked you're friends this question. How would you lrather die the most between all these choices?

I would personally prefer not to suffer a painful death and you have neglected to list any ways lacking in anguish. When I have to die, I don't want it to be slow and in agony.

Okay, so using your options, here's my favorite choice:

Being hung from a bridge spanning a large southern waterway (a la Ambrose Bierce's "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge") that spanned two thousand foot cliffs, but having another faction angry at me shoot arrows at me, some of which hit their mark and another of which hits the rope, severing it and allowing me to plunge into the waters below, causing me, losing my strength from the pain of the arrows, to begin to drown until an alligator ate me.

Is that good?

Okay, perhaps not...

getting your head chopped off isn't on the poll, that would be my choice. But other then that i think i would prefer to be tickled to death.

I would rather die fighting for what is right and Godly....

But if God decides to make my death easy, no complaints from me!

Falling off a thousand foot cliff sounds the least painful, and it would be the most exhilerating way to die!

-eaten by alligators or some other animal
you know, sometimes I feel like I'm being eaten by misquitoes. (uhh, maybe not in the wintertime though) Does that count? Wink

What puzzles me is why people said they prefered to be tickled to death. This is at least the most painful. First, it is extremmely difficult to be tickled to death. If you tickly someone for 10 minutes...you'd be screaming. If it's for an hour...it hurts around the stumach. It would take about a month to actually die.

^ lol

I picked drowning. There prolly is pain, but you'd pass out pretty quick. Plus, as Anne Shirley said...it'd be romantic to die that way lol (not why I picked it, but hey)

awwwwwww...*sniffle* boromir's death was the saddest scene in all of cinematic history... (lol, at least for me anyways)
but I so wouldn't have had his stamina...so I'm not choosing that option...

Boromir? Huh?

Oh, let me guess... from Lord of the Rings?

Just out of curiousity, was anyone aware that this is an Odyssey board? Or has LOTR obsession completely overtaken everyone here? Am I the only one immune to this terrible thing sweeping over the boards? Smile
