In case you're wondering, the better method is to place the gun barrel fully inside the mouth pointing up and back. Yes, to the back, not straight up. Weren't there instances of people trying to commit suicide, but using low caliber weapons dead-center under their chins for straight up, vertical shots that would sever their corpus callosum, effectively lobotomizing themselves? Now that's almost certainly going to be a downgrade in the quality of life...unless the person was clinically & violently insane, perhaps.

Now that's almost certainly going to be a downgrade in the quality of life...unless the person was clinically & violently insane, perhaps. I remember a story from a few years ago, where some guy had a wonky bit in his brain that drove him to suicide. He placed the gun to his head, slipped, and managed to blow away the bit of brain that was causing all of his troubles. (Tried to find the article, but "Self Lobotomy" only brings up Darwin Awards-type behavior, and "Shotgun Lobotomy" is the name of a band somewhere. I'll keep lookin'...) EDIT: (Still looking, found information about Fronal Lobe disorders, and their symptoms; includes suicidal thoughts and actions. Even if the tale I'm half-remembering is an Urban Legend, it's still within the realm of possibility)

Dontcha mean "Steele Style"? Ah, touche'. To a man every person who has watched that scene with me says they would have done the same thing. It seems the will to live is superceded by the unwillingness to go through that sort of pain for a slim to no chance of survival.

Survival of the Dead, perhaps?

Depends on your definition of "survival". Survival of the Dead, perhaps? As in that film has slim to no chance of being considered good?

[BillyRay]

As in that film has slim to no chance of being considered good? Y'know, I've never been horseback riding. Nice to know I can put it off for awhile.

Y'know, I've never been horseback riding. Nice to know I can put it off for awhile. Life begins at rigormortis. Dude, everyone knows that.

Life begins at rigormortis. Dude, everyone knows that. That's a statement I thought I'd never hear in my lifetime! "life begins at rigor mortis" - classic! That shit is sig worthy!

I think it was something along the lines of People Who Cured Themselves Through Self-Destructive Habits, or something. It was right there alongside the gal who was so large that the flesh-eating bacteria couldn't kill her.
