I don't think lava would be a good way to go either. I have gotten fairly close to lava flow several times on the Big Island of Hawaii. Its incredibly hot from a great distance and the ground/hardened lava under your feet is super heated as well.....;-)
Wot? You're lava-ing a larff mate! The least painful way has got to be the carbon monoxide way in my humble opinion. (who actually writes that anymore?) I'm not convinced that you don't feel pain after death. No-one really knows, do they? Maybe when you die your spirit still stays in your body for ages, and like you can still think and stuff. Maybe you have to wait until another sentient creature is conceived before you can leave.
Explosive suicide vest would be quick, mayhaps not painless tho....:-0 And word is, if you take a few infidels with ya, you get to have sex with 40 virgins... even tho you just blew yer pecker off....;-)
Take a shotgun loaded with dove and quail load aim it 1/2 inch below your brain stem, the shot will take out the brain stem and 1/3 your brain. You are going to die this way.
Is that what Dexter used in season 4 on the cancer woman? p.s. anyone know if there are spoiler tags in here?
I do not think that the term having a peel done, equates to this drastic a measure. I would not want to die that way.
i thought that too once, but found out that you become paralysed first, then the pain sets in and you die in agony but unable to move... not good best way has to be peacefully in sleep, or fighting for a valuable cause... the adrenaline would be pumping so hard, i doubt i'd notice the odd lost limb until it was too late...
