#1 50 Ways to Die In Style
'Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today — but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all'

The True Resurrection would undo the chartrusing of the Gnome

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents

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.Jason_Firewalker wrote:Eh, I guess...

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