Moved, by me, because this is not Theology or Philosophy.

Humor goes here.

Personally I thought that it was philosophy because of the philosophy of death and dying, but to each their own interprertation.

Ahhh No. This is a list. Lists are not philosophy.

Discussing whether or not it is better to die young having lived an exciting life or at a ripe and safer old age is philosophy. A list of ways to die is not.

A little thought-provoking and amusing, yes. Philosophical or contemplative in nature - no.
