Man, I just saw that on CNN. Can't sleep. (As you know from replying in my tooth thread).

Man...bitten in HALF. :Q I mean, no one has ever been bitten in half and lived...I'm sure it's not painless!

Yeah, and CBS has some kind of faux Spring Break shark attack on tommorrow where a bunch of people get attacked by sharks. Being attacked by a shark is about my least favorite way that I'd want to die. That or being crushed to death.

This is the reason why certain sushi restaurants have fished served on beautiful naked women.

We need to weaken their morale....

I think bear would be worse then shark.
And worse then both would be getting attacks by monkeys. Seriously, those are some powerful, mean little bastards. And they tear your testicles off.

No kidding, I saw that thread a few weeks ago where that happened to a guy. *shudders*

I've heard, and I dont know how true this is, that monkeys are strong enough to actually pull a mans arm off. Heard it had happened in isolated incidents when a guy puts his hand through the monkeys cage, they grab his arm and tug and off it comes.
Either way, having my nose chewed off, eyes gouged out and testicles pulled off would be WAY worse then just flat out getting bitten in half I think.

I'm just speculating but I'd say maybe he went into shock but I doubt death was instant (as in unknowing and painless).

I like how they put a (what looks to me) great white shark in the pic even though the type wasn't determined. I'm surprised the media didn't have it leaping out of the water at a helicopter. :roll:

I agree with the shock. Assuming that he did indeed get cut in half, the shock would have overloaded his nervous system with seemingly irrational amoutns of pain or distress, and his body probably shutdown enough to disrupt consciousness rather quickly....

This written by a man who doesn;t even watch the discovery channel and yet has a 10 stack of nervoussystem literature at ahnd

Or in a fire. Or drowning.

Awh hell, let's face it.. the only "good" way to die is in your sleep or a bullet to the head, lol.

Edit: Oh, and he most certainly didn't "die" instantly. If he got cut apart below the heart, he was around for longer than you'd want to be, having been just cut in half.. even if it was only for a second or two. He at least got an "Oh sh!t" in.

:p
