Well, at least we know he had a peaceful, nay EUPHORIC, death.

Which is good to know, because it's probably going to happen to me.

This reminds me of a joke, about an urban legend from the old days of USEnet - a sysop who was found dead at his keyboard.

I guess the saga continues?

Unlike the horrors associated with dying of dehydration, dying of starvation IS peaceful, euphoric and fun.

So keep up your water inptake and you'll pass on just fine.

I just wish Terri had been given the same opportunity.

I've heard that freezing to death is also quite a fine way to go.
