How would you rather die?

I voted for the slow death by disease, since I am anyway.

Definitely wolves. That would be the most aesthetically pleasing and we'd put on a good show.

In the way that we all are or did I miss some bad news?

It's OLD news. I am afflicted with Crohn's Disease, as is our Dar512. It won't kill me by itself, but the side effects and concurrent infections, weight loss and organ failure suck ass.

Not to mention the drugs. I've been informed recently that the treatment that works best for me (Remicaid and Imuran combination) has been found to cause a nasty form of cancer in a small percentage of those taking it. I tried going with other options, but then the usual Crohn's symptoms flared and I was back to being sick and tired of being sick and tired. I've gone back to the original set and will take the gamble.

I went for the lion. It'd glamorous in a way and implies you've been doing something interesting and adventurous. Or incredibly stupid, like climbing into the lion pen at the zoo to retrieve your camera.
At least I'd be giving a good meal to a charismatic animal as I went, it shouldn't take terribly long, and it would be a great story for the family to tell the future generations ... "now old uncle Zengum, colourful chap he was, got eaten by lions while up to some kind of neo-colonial hijinks in Africa somewhere, overthrowing Mugabe or something..."

Always so altruistic. ZenGum, the gift that keeps on giving.
