AJ asked in Arts & HumanitiesBooks & Authors · 1 decade ago

Researching for a book.. looking for some interesting answers to a quick question?

Hi!

disclaimer: This is a completely ridiculous question not meant to be taken serious by anyone.

What are some of the most outlandish ways you can think of that a person could use to end their life?

Examples:

*climb a huge mountain and take a nap at the summit

*deep sea diving and rip out your oxygen hose

*tape steaks to your body and rile up some junkyard dogs

*go skydiving without a parachute

*infect yourself with something nasty in a microbiology lab

any input would be appreciated. if I use your idea, you will receive thanks in my book.

Update:

To answer a question: I am writing a book that involves a section on contemplating suicide and how ridiculous is it. But if you are going to do it, go out with a bang and don't leave a mess for family to clean up. Hilariously morbid. Guaranteed to talk anyone out of doing it

    Deliberately eat something you're allergic to.

    Walk alone in a dangerous part of town at night--flashing a big wad of money, optional.

    Work as an unlicensed electrician.

    (Or, the corollary: blow dry your hair in the bathtub or swimming pool)

    Climb in with the lions or tigers at the zoo (I know; that's been done).

    Run with the bulls at Pamplona--just don't run very fast.

    properly, they exceeded the first try: the e-mail they despatched you has some comments that are certain to you and your e book, fairly than being finished of imprecise generalities that ought to observe to anybody. the next step must be to Google their call plus "scam" (fairly, you should've performed this earlier writing to them, yet that ought to't be helped). I did this variety of search for purely now, and it did not come about some thing incredibly damning. so that they bypass the second one try. they say they do commonly used publishing, the position they pay each and each of the expenses and provide you a royalty on each and each replica offered, and joint mission publishing (self-publishing through yet another call), the position you pay incredibly some the setup expenses, yet after that, they pay you royalties. they don't say how a lot it expenses you, or how they arrive to a decision which determination to flow for. short version - they seem valid, and so must be at liberty to respond to any questions you've were given. bear in mind that maximum self-revealed books have a tendency now to not promote ok, so this may not excuse you from having to get a ideal activity once you end your preparation ;-)

    Looking for outlandish?

    -hold on to a long metal pole during a ligthning storm

    -Insult God in front of a Catholic church

    -punch the buttons on the soda machine too hard (10+ people die every year because of these)

    And of course the classics: jump off a building, or shoot thyself.

    What kind of book are you writing?! You could go to the Darwin awards website for ideas... although I think those awards are given for people who are just idiots and die in idiotic ways, not end their lives; but, like I said, could give you ideas, or just a laugh :).
