    Most Spectacular Death

    As Frenchman Michel Fournier attempts to break the world free-fall record by jumping from 25 miles (containing laughter) above the Earth's surface, what do you think will be the coolest, most spectacular way for him to perish?

    Congratulations, EarlJam

    You finally figured out how to post a poll!

    Note: My vote goes for being struck by a missile. Not only would it be a true spectacle, but it could also be the first successful test of any missile defense system!

    And I write for a living. Shame on me! I don't think I can edit it though. Oh well, just consider it slang for or another way of spelling "missile."

    A missile would be cool. Especially because he is French.

    Now, see, the COOLEST possible way would be if a team of parachute commandos intercepted him in midair, doused him in a flammable solution, and then lit him - thus making him burn up on reentry! YEAH!

    What if someone in the plane videotaped the plane smacking into him? That would look really cool on Youtube!

    I voted for...

    Balloon crash. Simply because this would be seen as a technical glitch, and consequently lead to some other fool attempting the exact same feat, only with a "better" balloon! So, we'd get to watch the whole thing again.
