I know some forums dislike them, but we've never really tried them. There seems no reason to speak against them unless they cause bad behaviour (as usual!).

1) "See you in hell... bitch."
2) "No, you can't do this! I am the king... the... king..."

I think when you freeze to death you lose conciousness long before you die, so it probably is fairly peaceful after that point. Look up hypothermia.

hypothermia.

From wikipedia...

As the temperature decreases further physiological systems falter and heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure all decreases [...] Difficulty in speaking, sluggish thinking, and amnesia start to appear; inability to use hands and stumbling is also usually present. [...] muscle coordination becomes very poor, walking becomes almost impossible, and the person exhibits incoherent/irrational behavior including terminal burrowing or even a stupor.[...]

I think I'll just stick to cyanide!

This actually IS a good idea but it will be significantly more difficult for non-English posters so (for example, I might only post "worst calls" from regional competitions which you Americans will have never heard of).. I will not edit the first post and people can post whatever they want.
