How will I die? Apparently on a hike... quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=8960&first=yesYou scored as Disappear. Your death will be by disappearing, probably a camping trip gone wrong or an evening hike you never returned from. Always remeber that one guy who was hiking alone and got in a rock slide. He could have died, but he cut his own hand off to save himself. Don't end up like him (or worse, dead). Disappear 93% Cut Throat 80% Gunshot 80% Stabbed 73% Poison 73% Suicide 53% Suffocated 53% Accident 47% Eaten 47% Bomb 47% Disease 47% Natural Causes 40% Drowning 33%

I suppose I shouldn't mention that I have camped alone a couple of times and definitely enjoy night hiking...preferably with the dog, but she can't go into San Antonio... Weird, I was kinda thinking Eaten and Drowning would be higher up. Not cuz I go around sticking my arms into zoo cages, but I DO handle animals whenever I can and swim/snorkel/dive/surf whenever I can.

This is creepy! lol
You scored as Natural Causes.
Your death will be by natural causes, though not by any diseaese, because that is another option on this test. You will probably just silently pass away in the night from old age, and people you love won't realize until the next morning, when you are all purple and cold and icky. So be happy, you won't be murdered. Natural Causes 67% Suicide 60%
Poison 60%
Bomb 60%
Gunshot 47%
Stabbed 40% Suffocated 40%
Eaten 40%
Disease 27%
Disappear 20%
Accident 13%
Drowning 7%

well, at least cancer/disease is low on the list. of course, chemotherapy is another type of poison... *le sigh*
You scored as Poison. Your death will be by poison, probably because you are a glutton and are around so many people that it would be easy to get away with it. Several important people in history share your fate. Poison 87%

Haha - okay there may be something to this. Jenny will chime in about my Heely injuries I'm sure:
You will probably die from a accident, like a car crash, a failed stunt or you missed the net when trapezing. Oh, that's a failed stunt. Anyway, be more careful your life is on the stake. (Sorry there isn't a picture, I didn't have the guts to search 'accident' on Google Image Serach.)

I knew somebody was going to get me. Probably a ninja sniper!!!
You scored as Gunshot.
Your death will be by gunshot, probably because you are some important person or whatever. Possibly a sniper, nice, quick, clean shot to the head. Just beautiful.

And Andy is grounded from Heely's until he can walk without limping. You guys remember what happened when he hit that wheel chair ramp (David, Angela)? Well it is even more spectacular if he has a running start.

Well, a bomb would be dramatic, but so messy. Besides, I am too busy trying to make sure Andy has proper antiseptics on hand for after his ninja heeley jump over the Grand Canyon (where David has dissapeared and Angela has drunk herself into a coma) to get involved with all the shopping required for building explosives.

I get to get blown up! Just like a Vin Diesel Movie! ;D
You scored as Bomb.
Your death will be by bombing. You will probably be an innocent bystander, not doing anything wrong and not a person who was targeted at, just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Yeeeeaaaaaah......
Well, it just so happens that Thursday evening I took Kimba for a hike... I slipped out of work, picked her up, and drove to Santa Teresa, since it's near the house and I had maybe an hour and a half of daylight left. We took the trail from the center of the park to Coyote Peak and then the perimeter trail back down and around. You know me; I usually choose the road less traveled...
Well, so it's about 15 minutes before complete sunset (read: the sun's already partial down but soon it'll be truly gone and getting dark FAST) and Kimba and I have already hiked for over an hour. We've just finished two hills, we're a little tired, I'm hungry, and I'm fairly confident that I'll reach my car before the ranger locks the gate. That's when I see the big reddish-brown animal on the trail ahead of us....
The critter was maybe 300 feet ahead of us on the trail. At first, I thought it was a big German Shepherd or other dog, but it doesn't quite look right. Then, cued by the coloration and location (just behind Coyote Peak), I think, "wow, that's a coyote" until reason reminds me that we humans pretty much exterminated them generations ago. What's more, this thing is walking unlike any canine I know, but VERY much like certain felines which fascinate me...oh, shit, it's a mountain lion! Cool!
By this point, Kimba and I have been steadily gaining on the beastie; he's less than 250 feet ahead. So, I whip out my camera and start (trying) to take shots of him. He's upwind of us, but stops and turns around each time my cell phone's camera goes *click*. Clearly, he's got bad eyes cuz he doesn't seem to see us and certainly can't defy physics and smell us. For her part, Kimba is completely calm and non-plussed by the situation; she may freak out over cows and horses, but cougars are a bore I guess...!
So, I snapped several shots (which, despite my best Photoshop efforts look like lame shots of the hillside, although my earlier panorama came out fine...) and then thought "uh, gee, this guy is between me and the car. I've got maybe 15 minutes of daylight left and less than a half mile to go, BUT, I've got a wild animal in the way. I suppose I could go back the way I came, but that's almost all uphill at this point and would take probably two hours to finish now. The ranger'll lock us in for sure. This is bad..."
The cougar was now about 150 feet ahead of me, casually wandering along the same trail I was. Amazingly enough, I noticed that I had a signal on my phone. Mind you, I had been at Coyote Peak just 20 minutes earlier and didn't have a single bar. Now, I had four or five! Dumb luck, I suppose. So, I call Kari. "Uh, if I don't come home, it's cuz I've been eaten by a cougar."
"What?"
"Yeah, for real, there's a cougar on the trail ahead of me. I snapped a bunch of cool pictures of him (so I thought). But he's between me and the car."
"Oh my God!!! I'll call the ranger..."
I stayed on the phone with her for the next three or four minutes, steadily getting closer to the animal. I called out something like "hey, buddy, get off the trail" in a loud and threatening voice (if you're a dog) and made some growling noises. Kimba sniffed around for lizards, completely unaware (I guess) that a mountain lion roughly twice her size was just ahead (or, she was playing it cool cuz she knew she could take him with her butt-slap special maneuver...).
The mountain lion must have heard from Brina and Hoysum what a terror Kimba can be (or probably decided that the loud monster in the tie-dye was insane) and slipped off the path. I slowly approached, still on the phone with Kari (Ray was looking up the number for the park ranger). I reached where the cougar had been, and although I couldn't see him, I could clearly HEAR him in the brush below the trail. I kept talking LOUDLY to Kari, letting Kimba lead us forward as I kept my eye to on the undergrowth where the mountain lion had slinked off to. Dude, I know about turning your back to a hunting predator...PUH-lease. At a regular pace, we moved by, crested the next hill, and spied the parking lot in the distance. Kari asked if I was running, since I was out of breath. I told her she was insane, since THAT would be like ASKING the puma to pounce on me.
Tired, we hiked down into the dell and I started to relax. Kari was worried that the cougar was still going to get us -- well, actually Kimba, since I'm too fat to be worth the effort. I believe Ray joked that she'd make a good snack, doggy-flavored puma-chow. I explained that I was now in a valley and unless the cat sprinted, well out of range. Kari reminded me that mountain lions are good at stalking their prey, but he'd have to be a master of ninjitsu given how little cover was available.
We walked through a slightly forested area (and if the puma was a high-level druid in disguise, he could have totally taken us there, but since I only PLAY in a fantasy world but LIVE in a real one, I was feeling fine) and then around a couple of bends to the outer parking lot. I had long-since lost my rogue cell signal. I told a couple at their car about our encounter. She was nervous and he looked at me like, "do you KNOW how long I've been working to get this chick to hike with me, you fucking screwball?"
I got Kimba in the car (she was still calm cuz she knew she could take anything short of Ashtabular) and headed home. I'd lost my phone signal shortly past the encounter, so Kari and Ray didn't know if we'd escaped a mauling yet or now. Like all the places I like to hike, there's no coverage, so it wasn't until I was almost all the way back in suburbia that I managed to call again to say I was okay (and then brag about our encounter).
Honestly, I never really felt in real danger, but it was a little exciting and definitely cool. It'll certainly teach me; next time I need to buy a cell phone with better resolution for good shots of teeth and gums! Seriously, while I could see the cougar as clear as day with my eyes, the best I can get from my pics is a colored blob that looks more like a rock than an animal. No wonder no one can manage a decent shot of Bigfoot or the Abominable Snowman; a little camouflage totally fools electronics!
