    Once upon a time, a monk sat in a garden, pruning a bush. Two younger monks approached him, and asked the elder monk a question.

    "Master, if you had five minutes to live, what would you spend that time doing?"

    The monk smiled and said, "This."

    If you had five minutes to live, what would you do?

    [​IMG] Wondering if that bullet is actually gonna hit me from the distance :p

    I dunno, I'd just continue what I was doing, the point is you *don't* know when your end of this life is so just live like you would, no point changing in five minutes, doesn't make a difference, fates are sealed, yata yata :sleep:

    I seriously think I'd have to whiz out the window of a 20 or 30 story building.

    Probably some cities, more than others, would be a better experience; but there's a vast majority that would work in a pinch.

    Run, sing, play guitar. I don't know, be outside, definitely. Probably in the ocean, that would be great.

    Get to the highest point I can, prefrably in an aeroplane but that might be a little difficult with only 5 minutes remaining. I would then proceed to jump off, probably naked.
    That feeling of being totaly surrounded by nothing at all. Dropping through the wind with no force but gravity influencing you.

    For me that feeling would be the closest thing to feeling physicaly and mentaly free.

    Oh and of course I'd wave to ya'll from above.

    Damn... not another such question. should i say something nice?

    Disturbing and offensive one, pilot a 747 and ram it to the Twin Towers. This time, frankly, i don't care much since i am going to die anyway. If i am going to hell, everyone is going with me.

    Ok, something nicer, if i have 5mins to live, i devote my very last 5 mins praying to God, asking God to let all the people i loved, all the innocent people go to heaven as well even if they haven't converted when they die. (i am not bargain with God, nor do i have the power) If this cannot be granted, i will stay in hell with them.

    i must say, i am a sick person. On one end, i would want to ram the twin towers so that i can enjoy the mayhem, destruction, bla bla bla. One the other hand, i really feel sorry about those innocent who haven't converted and are bounded to go to hell.

    I think I'm going to have to go with Vargx on this one. I'll take a few people to the afterlife with me. Failing that, I'd call up a close friend and have a nice conversation. Better yet, I'd like to be able to talk to that person face to face. It'd be nice to talk to someone very close to me before I go.
