If you really wanted to go out with a bang, what are some of the most creative ways to commit suicide?

I hope this is hypothetical.
Hooking yourself up to an embalming machine and replacing all your blood with embalming fluid would be quite impressive, though.

If this is hypothetical, it's chatfilter.
If it's not, you should seek help. A good first step would be talk to someone you trust about your suicidal feelings.

Creative? Well, let's see... Any manner of suicide that leaves your organic tissue intact will provide a rich and fertile ecology for a plethora microbial and insect progeny.

You always hear these stories on safari about how a rite-of-passage for the young men of the local tribe is to walk up to an unsuspecting lion / buffalo / elephant and slap it on its ass then run for your life. That would certainly classify for showmanship.

Needed:
- Non-elastic rope
- Thin, strong wire or fishing line.
- Super-glue
Find yourself a nice tall building or bridge. Really anywhere with an overhang and some height. Taking careful note of the height of the building, subtract about 10 feet, and measure that length in rope. Measure a similar length in wire. Tie both lengths to a fixed point. Tie other end of rope to ankles, tie other end of wire around neck. Super-glue hands holding head. Jump.

...and I'm 3 minutes behind. I imagine this is chat filter in any case anyway.

I've always wondered if there's some mechanism in the cock-pit that stops people from opening the exit door in-flight, but I always wondered if it could be done by some crazy person. If it could, I think it would be particularly awesome to free-fall to where you catch up with the door, flip that sucker around and then jump on top of it like you're sky-surfing, like that bear did in Tailspin, the Disney cartoon from when I was a kid.
Except you're not being towed by a plane and in the end you die.
