Oh, go ahead.

As for me, death by senescence.

10. Death by Rube Goldberg
An execution by: dropping a bowling ball onto a flume, where it rolls down and knocks over a bowling pin, which pulls a rope that is attached to an iron sitting on the edge of a board, which then falls and flips a see-saw that turns on a fan that blows a model boat across a tub and knocks over a candle which lights a firecracker, blowing up and knocking over a domino chain that goes up an inclined board that has the last one fall off the edge, pulling a string and flipping a switch on a mixer, which has a string tied to the blades that tightens down on the trigger of a gun.
This would be entertaining to watch just before my execution.
It also has the added advantage of potentially failing easily.

20. Don't be too sure...
I read in Harpers a few months ago, about a late-1800s research project in which the recently beheaded were 'interviewed'. They were tested by seeing how they responded to hearing their own name, and having objects pased in front of their line of sight, and watched as their eyes followed the objects. Some remained apparently functional, albeit without the ability to speak, for up to a minute.

24. Lethal injection
If I could choose the coctail. Seriously, aside from the IV, I'm sure it's THE best way to go, no doubt in my mind.

25. Like anti-Nazi Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Firing squad.
That's the only way for a political prisoner. The new regimes execute on the sly. Actually, they assassinate. That's the BFEE way. Keep it open, and on the record. In 100 years history will burn their asses.


Dietrich Bonhoeffer, man of a different God than Bu$h's.

Razors pain you; Rivers are damp; Acids stain you; And drugs cause cramp. Guns aren't lawful; Nooses give; Gas smells awful; You might as well live.

ps: to answer yr question, I'd like to go innocent---or defending same. :)

30. A hemlock cocktail
If it was good enough for Socrates, it'd be good enough for me. Have a hemlock prune juice cocktail, couple of sedatives, and go take a nap.
