As the man in the movie said (Jurassic Park) "when a man's gotta go... a man's gotta goo..!"

I can't imagine which would be worse, to succumb to the primordial ooze or get ripped off the toilet by a Tyrannasauris Rex. Both seem like unceremonious departures.

Let's send up a few prayers for this poor guy.

He was sitting, watching TV and swoosh, down in an old mining shaft. 200 feet. Did not recover.

What a wimp. ;D Forget the internet I want them to preempt all TV and radio when I go. Something like lighting a super fart and crash landing on the moon.

I'm having trouble putting it out of my mind. Awfully nasty business.

The more you think about the awfuller it gets. One minute you're taking a nice rest in your nice suburban ranch house in the land of flamingos and the next you've been swallowed up by the earth. Most things in nature happen gradually, including, usually, death. Exceptions include lightning, earthquakes, avalanches, bubbles popping, and sinkholes.
