My 7 Least Favorite Potential Dying Scenarios
If you were given a menu of ways you'd like to die and these were the specials, I would never order them, even if they were cheaper than the other options. Even if I were drunk. These ways to die would suck above most others.

Drawn & Quartered
Here's the Wikipedia article on what this actually means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanged,_drawn_and_quartered
"Convicts were fastened to a hurdle, or wooden panel, and drawn by horse to the place of execution, where they were hanged (almost to the point of death), emasculated, disembowelled, beheaded and quartered (chopped into four pieces). Their remains were often displayed in prominent places across the country, such as London Bridge. For reasons of public decency, women convicted of high treason were instead burnt at the stake."
Yeah, because having a quarter of a disemboweled woman would be way too offensive for anyone to put up with. Give me a good old fashioned, disemboweled man any day of the week, in front of me while I eat. Fine. But a woman? Please. Be reasonable. For once. - 7
Buried Alive
If I had it like Ryan Reynolds in "Buried", it actually seems like kind of a nice vacation -- until you get bored.
Dying of boredom (or, you know, starvation) probably wouldn't be on the top of my to-do list if I'm not in the office. Also, I'm kind of hungry right now, so that killing me, or a claustrophobic, suffocating death doesn't sound like my cup of tea.
Give me instant death any time of year.
