What do you think will cause your demise other than the usual causes (cancer, heart disease, etc)

Poll question: What do you think will cause your demise other than the usual causes (cancer, heart disease, etc)

SO much angst, so little time

[CTyankee]

1. Old age. My mother died at 94. Never had a chronic illness in her life.

She once had a bleeding ulcer that almost did her in, tho.

I've inherited my share of gastrointestinal problems from her, however.

5. My Mom at 92 is still hanging in there although she is now ill

seeing her tomorrow. I hope I live that long, I want to see us land on Mars.

[taterguy]

2. Asshole motorist taking me out while I'm riding my bike to/from work

At which point at least half of DU will celebrate since I'll finally STFU about transportation choices.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

18. I expect that will be mine as well

[Botany]

3. I will be killed by a whale ... a great white whale

"Call me Ishmael," :rofl:

[Robb]

4. Other

...Death by prolonged mild reproof.

[DainBramaged]

7. You are stil the best

:hug:

[roamer65]

6. Rethuglicans.

[depakid]

8. You are really on a roll today....

[DainBramaged]

9. I should have included overexposure to Susan Boyle

I noticed today that the people who were beating us up over our lack of accepting Susan Boyle as the second coming are strangely silent today, ONE WEEK LATER.

[Siwsan]

10. Death by blissful exhaustion

After a prolonged conjugal experience with George Clooney. Ok, I should have checked the "sex" box, but I fully realize that I've got a better chance of death by a rogue T Rex attack than the whole George Clooney scenario. Damn.

[DainBramaged]

11. We need more choices, death by TRex, brilliant

:fistbump:

[Contrary1]

12. I think it will be yet another Bush in the White House....

[liberalmuse]

13. Choking on a regurgitated ham sandwich laced with heroin in the bathtub...

while listening to Brian Jonestown Massacre, which explains why I'm a drug-free vegetarian who only takes showers and prefers The Dandy Warhols. But alas, you can't cheat destiny... :cry: :cry: :cry:

[DainBramaged]

14. No one thinks they will die of sex, how sad

what could be more fulfilling than dying in the arms of the one you love?

[Berry Cool]

28. How about from lack of sex?

Please, won't some decent, chivalrous, handsome man help SAVE MY LIFE before it's too late?????? :loveya:

[Fumesucker]

30. You only get to pick two out of the three..

And I think "decent" and "chivalrous" aren't all that far apart anyway.

:)

15. Wow, man, you are on the rampage tonight. I sure hope you are right

and we will all die from cancer. What a great way to die! Better than a volcano, global warming or flu.

I wonder, deep down, who gives a shit?

Kick and rec..

[TahitiNut]

25. Parinirvana

[DainBramaged]

26. OK

Do not lament. Have I not often told you that it is in the very nature of things that we must eventually be parted from all that is near and dear to us?.

[Obamanaut]

27. Motorcycle or bicycle accident at age 99. nt

[Berry Cool]

29. Why hasn't anyone yet provided that favorite chestnut of all men:

"At age 100...in bed...shot to death by a jealous husband."

[MindPilot]

31. Too drunk to stop...what?

The car? Pissing off repukes at Wal-Mart? Ranting about red light cameras?

In any case that will probably do it...too drunk (or stoned) to stop whatever.
