Place someone(osama) in a Glass tank. tie him to a pole arms strethed out so he can't move. Tie his head back so he can't move it. Fill tank with water untill it is at his chin. Then introveinously keep him alive. over time he will urinate and deficate in the water. as he does so the water level will rise. eventually it will get to the point to where it will be over his mouth. he will instictivly keep his mouth shut, but the smell will make him gag and open his mouth which will then make him injest his filth. eventually he will drown in his own crap. A fitting way for him or your worst enemy.

wow, you really have thought about quite in depth, haven't you? ATOT never ceases to amaze me..

In the FAA's "large bird ingestion test," recently euthanized chickens are stuffed into air cannons and fired at 175 mph into a working jet engine.
Gosh, I hope PETA doesn't find out about this. :Q

I'm sure PETA volunteers wouldn't mind substituting themselves in for the chickens!

I think being eaten by something. Can you imagine getting eaten by a lion, or even worse, knowing you will be eaten? Running in sheer terror, knowing that you will be caught and slowly torn to pieces with it's huge teeth... It just seems so gruesome...

I thought CWT was when they bloated you up with water and then stomped on you?

This ain't so bad... think about it. I really don't think you're slowly torn to pieces until after the animal kills you. It's not like you're conscious the whole time watching the thing tear you apart while you're in excrutiating pain.

Candiru.

Originally found on: teh internet
When candirus parasitize humans, it is usually only when they are skinny-dipping while urinating in the water. The candiru tastes the urine stream and follows it back to the human. It then swims up the anus and lodges itself somewhere in the urinary tract with its spines. Blood is drawn, and the candiru gorges itself on both the blood and body tissue, its body sometimes expanding due to the amount of blood. This is all said to be very painful for the poor person who has this happen to him or her. Unfortunately, they are almost impossible to remove due to the spines. Amputation of the private areas is the cheapest, and most life-changing, way to remove the fish. Actual surgery is extremely expensive and involves inserting the Xagua plant and the Buitach apple up the urethra. These two plants kill and even dissolve the parasitic fish. If surgery is not done in time, the blockage of the urinary tract will prove fatal. The candiru is the only known vertebrate to parasitize humans.



i second this way....

After traveling for the last two weeks, I have concluded that having your airplane come apart somehow (bird in the engine?) and being thrown into the ether at 35,000 feet is the most horrific way to end it all.
Oh, that would be over rather quickly, perhaps 10 seconds or less, due to catastrophic decompression in a sub-zero termperature and oxygen starved environment, would probably kill or induce unconsciousness within several seconds if not instantaneously. I think I have one that tops them all, being among the crew members of the USS Indianapolis:

Just after midnight on July 30, 1945, the Indianapolis, carrying 1,196 sailors and Marines, was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine. The heavy cruiser, on its way back to the Philippines after delivering components for the atomic bomb, went down in about 12 minutes.

About 900 crewmen survived the sinking. Some were in lifeboats, but most bobbed in the water with only lifejackets. Only 316 were rescued after floating helplessly in the shark-infested Pacific waters for nearly five days.
By Aug. 1, the survivors were delirious, suffering from a combination of injuries, dehydration, hypothermia, sunburn, skin ulcers and extreme hunger. Hundreds of sharks attacked the men, killing an estimated 50 each day. Some crewmen drank seawater, which contains twice the amount of salt the body can tolerate. Horrible, painful death soon occurred. Clearly, time was running out.

What would the physics do to you? Would you instantly die? Freeze to death? Get a major sunburn? I mean damn, I know airplanes (in the developed world, anyway) are pretty darn safe but I couldn't help but clutch my serving try whenever we hit any turbulence.

You'd lose conciousness from the lack of breathable air at 35000 feet. You may regain conciousness somewhere around 15000 feet, and what you do from there is up to you. Check out this freefall survival page. That whole website has some really crazy stories that after reading, may give you some hope if you ever find yourself in such a situation.

'Tis but a flesh wound!!!

:D


How about this:

You are put in a decompression chamber. The pressure builds up to some crazy pressure (~1000 psi maybe) very gradually so your body can adapt, then the hatch is blown open...

tom clancy wrote a great one with that. he varied the pressure just enough to rupture tiny vessels little by little till the buy was nothing but bloody tissue

Brian Crucifixion??!!!!!
Prisonr Yeah. First offence.
Brian Get away with crucifixion? It's...

Mathias Oh.
Cntrian Nasty, eh?
Mathias Hm. Could be worse.
Cntrian What do you mean 'could be worse'?
Mathias Well, you could be stabbed.
Cntrian Stabbed? Takes a second. Crucifixion lasts hours. It's a slow,

Mathias Well, at lest it gets you out in the open air.
Cntrian You're weird!
