and heres a list of the ways it might happen...

http://www.exitmundi.nl/

great reading.

I'm going to delve into there one day... but right now my paper is screaming at me to finish it

bookmarked... thanks!

"#5633: The dreaded Earthquake-enhanced tornado being hit by a radio-active meteor event"

The first one I read and I was laughing my ass off. Will definitely read this when I have more time.

i wish it were untrue... but sadly... we ARE ALL gonna die.

Death isn't so bad.

It's the dying that sucks.

great site thanks!

and char, always reminds me of an old joke

"my grandfather died peacefully in his sleep, unlike those poor people in the car he was driving, they must have been terrified"

something like that.

Well, everybody born more than 125 years ago... is now dead. Guaranteed. We got to all move on eventually to make room for the new people. Whether they be humans or intelligent radioactive mutant weasels.

My current wallpaper is a shot from the LA Public Library website of a bunch of 1920s bathing beauties on the beach. They're all trying to shoot helium balloons out of the sky with bows and arrows, and a guy in the background is running away to avoid the falling arrows. It's a really hilarious and surreal shot, but I look at it every once in a while and think, damn: if any one of them is still alive, she's over 100 by now.

Heh. Like javelin catching. Or death by Jart. Everyone remembers Jart, right?

Me too!! Sounds like a hilarious photo.

This site is awesome. For alternative counter measures, you might want to check Assimov's "The Last Question" though... He makes a very interesting point there...

Click here.

The girls-and-arrows picture is the fourth thumbnail down from the top of the page. Click on it to see the large version.

There are a lot of good photo collections on that site: back up to http://www.lapl.org/virgal/ to see the complete list. There are two collections of tabloid news crime photos from the '50s that leave little to the imagination. Since we were talking about death to start with :-).

William Shatner said it best:

You'll Have Time
(William Shatner/Ben Folds)

Live life
Live life like you're gonna die
Becasue you're gonna
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But you're gonna die

Maybe not today or even next year
But before you know it you'll be saying
"Is this all there was?
What was all the fuss?
Why did I bother?"

Now, maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
Because you're gonna die.

Yes it's gonna happen because it's happened to a lot of people I know
My mother, my father, my loves
The president, the kings and the pope
They all had hope

And they muttered just before they went
Maybe, I won't let go
Live life like you're gonna die
Because you are

Maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
'Cause you're gonna die

I tell you who else left us
Passed on down to heaven no longer with us
Johnny Cash, JFK, that guy in the Stones
Lou Gehrig, Einstein, and Joey Ramone
Have I convinced you?
Do you read my lips?
This may come as news but it's time
You're gonna die
You're gonna die

By the time you hear this I may well be dead
And you my friend might be next
'Cause we're all gonna die

Yeah, oh maybe you won't suffer and maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
You'll have time cause you're gonna die
Yes, you're gonna die
You're gonna die, I tell you
You're gonna die
You are gonna die

'Cause maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time 'cause you're gonna die

Live Life
Life life like you're gonna die
Because you're going to
Oh yes
I hate to be the beater of bad news
But you're gonna die

Maybe not today or even next year
But before you know it you'll be saying
"Is this all there was?
What was all the fuss?
Why did I bother?
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?"
You'll have time, baby
You'll have time
'Cause you're gonna die
You are gonna die
Oh yeah
