| | Choose thy fate If you had to be executed and given an option on how to die. How shall you met your death?
For my a firing squad is the best or being sniped but that is basically the same thing.
EDIT: People sometimes ask me, "Hacker, what do you talk about with your friends?". Well, this is an excellent example. We can spend like 3 hours disscusing this. |

A sniper bullet to the head will just penetrate the head leaving a hole in the head. The head will stay in one piece. |

| i think it would still be pretty quick. i'd tell them they're allowed to shoot me more than once (i have heard that when you go in front of a firing squad, only one of the people in the squad has live rounds, the rest have blanks, but they don't know that. that way, whoever kills you don't know they did for sure, so it lifts some weight of the conscience of the members of the firing squad. is that true?)

| hmmm, in that case, would they agree to shoot me in the side of my head, rather than through my forehead or something? |

My version was, in a lethal injection the executioners hide their face and there are three injections only one is the true lethal injection. Nobody knows. But when I used to execute people it was only me. Because the people knew I am an evil careless person who would not feel anything if I killed people. |

In the old days they didn't hold up the heads so that the crowd could see it, but so that the head could see the crowd |

| | This is pretty simple: firing squad, for reasons listed above.

| | I chose lethal injection. The pain will not last long, you'll die fast and the best thing about it is, you get to die without getting gruesome... |

You should have put the option to be eaten by sharks with lasers, that would be cool |

Better hope to God you're not staring at a .50 caliber sniper rifle. It'll do a lot more than blow a hole in your head. It'd blow your head off |

It was done that way. So that the executioners won't get haunted by their conscience. But today, lethal injection is not allowed by our law. (the catholic church was against it). |

| | Can I choose my own death?
I would like to die as the result of being flogged by a woman wearing red leather tights and a long wet dog leash, then covered in honey and fire ants, then buried alive in a compost heap.
I hear that when they dig you up for the wake that this process give you a nice complexion.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - The Litany Against Fear, "Dune" by Frank Herbert |

| | The end result may be painful, but how about a free fall jump from 15,000 feet up with no parachute? It would be a sight to see!
