How do you think you will die?

Okay fellas, this might be a tad too macabre for some amongst you, but it's December, the year is almost at its end and right about now there is death in just about everything.
So...
I'm curious about something: we all know how we want to die (in our sleep, when we're too old to care about not waking up anymore), but let's be honest with each other and answer this:

HOW DO YOU THINK YOU WILL REALLY DIE?

No really. Do you think you will drown at the age of 40 whilst taking that cruise on the Nile? Or do you fear you'll get run over by a car tomorrow and bleed to death? Maybe you've had a vision recently and in that vision you clearly saw how one day you will wake up in the middle of the night and discover that your house is on fire and there is no way to escape the flames? Or do you think you'll get stabbed to death by a junkie because you refused to give him some coins for his much needed shot? What is it? How do you think you will leave this sad sad planet?

Me? It's pretty obvious, I guess. If one smokes about 20 cigaretes a day and drinks beer or whisky on a daily basis, one is in for a real treat. Cancer, of course. Probably lung cancer, but it might also be cancer of the throat. Or the liver, I suppose. But I have no doubt in my mind that it'll be cancer. Which means it'll hurt. A lot. Oh well, that's life, eh. And death.

Now it's your turn, fellas. So do tell me:

HOW DO YOU THINK YOU WILL DIE?

In the most painful and sarcastic way possible, I guess.

Ditto... Cancer of the lungs (I don't smoke) or intestines, or something stupid like a car crash... Or slipping on a banana peel.

Who was it that said "I just hope I die for something, not of something" ?
 
Probably something absolutely fucking mundane, like ass-cancer.

Though hopefully it'll be the result of a 150 mph crash behind the wheel of a Formula One car.

Or a nuclear firestorm. Shotgun wounds? 10mm SMG perforation? All possibilities...
 
Bloody mess - You always see other people die in the worst possible way

Im the "other people" that the perk refers to! Im pretty sure im goona explode at some point!

Nah.. Mine is cancer or if im lucky multible organ failure! Some people claim that their body is a temple, well mine is a dark, cold basement with all sorts of smelly crap seeping down the walls! And the lightbulb in the cieling stopped glowing, and the switch on the wall for it was oblitterated years ago!
 
Clinging to life feebly, gnashing my teeth and cursing my own mortality.

Seriously, that's almost certainly how it's going to happen.
 
Seeing as our civilization will collapse ten years from now, my guess is - starvation, disease or killed by looters.

You live in Croatia, your civilization has already collapsed.

As for me, I'll probably be lynched by a horde of Eastern Europeans infuriated by my snide remarks.
 
I am fairly healthy, with a strong immune system, but there is a history of cancer in my family, so that seems like the most likely event to kill me (as dying in your sleep is caused by organ failure or some other complication or disease that finally catches up to you). Because I have a pretty good immune system, a more dramatic possibility is being infected by a mutant virus in my studies, due to the inept actions of my colleagues, which happens to only have the ability to kill me.

I just heard about a distinguished lung specialist who died of lung cancer. He was a chain smoker. But his rare cancer had nothing to do with his smoking, so alec will probably also get something totally random before he can die 'traditionally'. How about wasting-foot disease?

I'm not going to die, I'm going up with the Rapture.
Here here brother. AMEN!!!

Serioulsy though, I will probably die from the run-of-the-mill type of death. Something like a heart attack due to too much cholesterol filled food and the like...

Oh well, plenty of time to that happens (hopefully) so live it up!!

Cheers,

Either cancer... or some more violent manner of death... i almost certianly wont life to see 70 years old....
 
I'll be burned at the stake for heretical beliefs or killed by an individual randomly angered by my stances on some issue.

...or I'll just arch my back slightly as I move my hands around some explosives as they explode in my face and send bits of me splattered on the walls of some cavern/depot/abandoned building.

...or Ian shoots me in the back for a critical hit while I'm at less than 10 HP after killing the Master.
