Who would be crazy enough to vote #1 or #2?

Anyway. This is too easy obviously #4. But I've always thought about what it'll be like to be bitten by a poisonous snake.

#1 (although trampled by rock concert crowd doesn't really fit my definiton of "fast") or #4.

I was going back and forth between #2 and #1, and finally picked #1.

#3 sounds fun, especially if I leave a funky testament and several time-trigger emails and various stuff lying around to manipulate people after my death.

I have actually had conversations about this. What I want is most importantly, that I die in a way that leaves all my organs usable for others. After that I would like it not to be too painful. An anyuerism (sp?) in my sleep that leaves me brain dead should do the trick.

I think Eran's is the more moral option.

My preferred death is one that occurs due to my own free will.

In a reality TV show where I am put in a closed arena with every dangerous animal known to man. With nothing but my bare fists to defend myself. All money generated by it goes to my family.

Final words being.

"Bigger bears then you have tried."
