Haha, shes going to die.

 

I'd rather die swinging a baseball bat at a meteorite than holding a sign staring vacantly into space.

...Or dying any other way, actually.

 

Really? Excruciatingly painful roasting while the meteorite heats the atmosphere, or dying peacefully in your sleep after a long, happy day surrounded by friends and family after having achieved your life goals? Or even just a not painful death?

Im not saying the sign is preferable, but why the fuck subject yourself to a good old boiling and crushing over, I dont know, time with family or even just drinking. Suicidal idiocy is dumb regardless of whether it looks cool or not.

 

Not to dismiss wanting to die peacefully with family near, but would you even feel the heat before the meteor hits and and instantly kills you?

 

In a word, yes. Depending on how fast the thing is going, you'd be dead long before it ever hit you.

 

In that situation, I'd definitely go for the meteorite.

In any other situation... I'd still go for the meteorite, though after achieving my life goals, and having a long life.

Also, I work in a hospital. People don't die like that. They die alone, because the douchebag family is tired of visiting to look at their near comatose body, and listen to the confused ramblings of a dying person, and then at the end you shit and piss all over yourself. Not that you'd care, because you've been doing that for months. And a couple apathetic CNAs clean you up and put you in a body bag and wheel your body away.

And I feel really fucking bad for them, and wish their family was there. Which makes it even worse.

And then they clean up the room for the next occupant. Even knowing my family would be there, there's no fucking way in hell I'd want them to see me looking like that. Like a big bloated sick sack of decaying meat with the aromatic scent of urine and feces.

So no, I'm going to stick with the meteorite. At least nobody would recognize me.

 

Isn't the situation a meteorite striking the earth? So in that case, the dying peacefully in your sleep wouldn't be the morbid hospital scenario you described - you'd probably live for quite a while, if not for the meteorite. It'd be far more peaceful and tranquil... certainly more desirable.

 

I was referring to Berkley's rather deluded alternate situation. That's why I quoted it.

But hey, yeah, I'm sure some people somewhere have died like that. Not a bad way to go, I guess.

Myself, I'm still working on the logistics of having my body incinerated an instant after my death. Having said goodbye to family and loved ones the day before. Or at the previous point of consciousness anyway.

Hey, we're off topic, have a cool picture.

Screw that image and all the horrifying prospects it promises.

Enjoy a steampunk guitar instead.

 

Is one of the pictures Ronald McDonald fighting the Elric brothers? I think I missed that episode.

The Toy Story ones are kickass.

On Topic: Optical Illusions FTW

 

And I'm pretty sure Ronald was jumping out of a star-gate as well.

 

I only recognized about half of that, but let me point out that the entire *point* of being Superman is that you don't need anything like armor. Hell, Supes could show up in nothing but his S-curl and a rope to tie both hands around his back, and still kick the ever-loving shit out of most of the DC universe single-handedly.

So yeah, putting armor on Superman is like, I don't know, giving Aquaman some scuba gear, or Wolverine a pocket knife; it's retardedly asinine.

 

Well it is supposed to be a representation of the middle ages. So it's more about the theme than the fact that he is essentially a walking god. And even a God wants to look cool.

 

On the other hand, dressing as a knight might be symbolic of his role as a protector.

For Batman... the hood-ears are weird, and hoods would hamper his peripheral vision and might come off or be used against him too easily in combat. I don't think the usual cowl's shape would be too out of place, as long as it isn't Kevlar reinforced and everything.

 

In my opinion, he should wear an entire suit with a lead lining. The idiot.

Would solve so many problems... ;_;
