Man lights himself on fire, nobody knows why.
It seems to me that the only reason to light yourself on fire in a crowded place is to make sure everybody sees you. It's the attention-whore's suicide. Somehow doing it without leaving so much as a note reminds me of that scene in Dr. StrangeLove when it is revealed that there is a Doomsday Device whose deterrent effect was completely wasted because they didn't tell anybody about it.
So I'm bored and I'm waiting for some jobs to complete. How would you guys kill yourselves, or, if it entertains you more, how would you kill me?
I remember an old post about superglue, fishing line, and jumping off a building. End result was someone hanging upside down over the crowd with their decapitated head stuck in their hands. If someone could remember the details I would be very much in your debt.
I kind of liked the creativity of the guy about a year ago who tied a cable around a pole, ran it through the trunk of his convertible, looped it around his neck and then drove off into that final sunset.

As you know, the Premier loves surprises.

It would be cool to dress like a ninja and charge the Secret Service brigade waving a katana. But you have to time it right to make sure you end up on the evening news.

Not sure where it was from originally (alt.suicide.holiday maybe?), but since bash.org is back up, you get their version:

evilada: Best suicide plan ever
mcm310: what is it?
evilada: you go up to the top of a roof
evilada: string piano wire tight across the front edge at neck level
evilada: tie a cord to your foot and the other end to the building so that you'll be above sidewalk level when its fully stretched
evilada: then you put super glue on your hands
evilada: and put your arms around the front of the wire and then back to touch your head
evilada: then you lean forward, so the piano wire cuts your neck but not your elbows
evilada: when the cord goes taut, youll be hanging upside down with no head....except your head will be in your outstretched arms thanks to gravity and the glue, staring at someone upside down and spewing blood everywhere.
evilada: And some poor bastard will be traumatized for LIFE.
mcm310: i dont think i can be your friend anymore

While I haven't any particular methods in mind, I've always rather liked the idea of leaving behind a list of names of people I know who annoy me, just to add to the fun.

Then you know some shoddy forensic shrink will just say this was a "hit list" of some sort. Do your HS cred proud and off them before you do yourself in. It's really the only way to improve the world on your way out.
