" ... but he's too overweight for a bullet in the back of the head?"

Wouldn't think that would be painful, given that he wouldn't have any brains left to notice with.

You know, there is a way to kill someone without pain, but no one seems to be interested. I read of an industrial accident involving two techs working for NASA that killed one, and the one that survived woke up in the hospital, without any memory of what had happened. They had entered the hatch of the shuttle's external fuel tank, which was at that point filled with nitrogen gas. The survivor said that he just went out like a blown match. Bent over, crawled into the tank - woke up in the hospital. Sounds like a nice, clean, painless death to me.

Asphixiation with inert gas is totally painless and will kill you very, very dead, very, very quickly.

"Sounds like a nice, clean, painless death to me."

I have heard of that too. I am not sure why no one wants to do it that way. I guess it takes to long? Carbon dioxide is painless too, just fall asleep and die of oxygen starvation.
