To die, kick the bucket, to meet your Maker, dead as a doornail, get whacked, smoked, bite the dust, sleep with the fishes, go six feet under—whatever death is called, it's going to happen. In 1789 Ben Franklin wrote, "In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." Death remains a certainty. But how do we die? It's the enormous variety of how that enlivens final exits. According to death certificates, in 1700 there were less than 100 causes of death. Today there are 3,000. With each advance of technology, people find new ways to become deceased, often causing trends that peak in the first year. People are now killed by everything, from cell phones, washing machines, lawn mowers and toothpicks, to the boundless catalog of man—made medicines. In Final Exits the causes of death—bizarre or common—are alphabetically arranged and include actual accounts of people, both famous and ordinary, who unfortunately died that way. (Ants, bad words, Bingo, bean bag chairs, flying cows, frozen toilets, hiccups, lipstick, moray eels, road kill, starfish, and toupees are only some of the more unusual causes.)

評分关于死亡的的方式那么多种,我原本以为死亡就只有那几种,没想到,竟然有那么多种。 看完不禁感慨。活着是多么得重要!
評分昨天晚上十点晃到光合作用溜达,本来很郁闷,一翻这书简直要笑死了。就特开心的抱着回家了...比起莫名其妙的就死了,我觉得自己还是幸福多了~捉迷藏、吃冰淇淋、吃巧克力、消化不良、失眠...没什么不是死亡的诱因....难道我真是变态....看见那么多人都那么委屈的死了自己还活着...
