Death rules.

We had a conversation in class the other day about how we would like to die. Pretty much everybody said "in my sleep". Excuse me? Are you serious? That's pretty much the last way id like to go. This is your death... you only get one... it shouldn't be easy and painless. It should be memorable and awesome. Like drowning in a pool of delicious gravy or a spectacular car crash in front of thousands of people screaming with a combination of horror and excitement. I would much rather burn out than fade away. You people have fun dying of organ failure at 4 in the morning like everybody else, I'll be the guy on the front page of the post with an article detailing the extraordinary series of events that resulted my being spread atom thin over the surface of a neutron star. Nothing says "Eric was here" like coating a hundred thousand square miles of superdense planet with your own blood.
