Well, assuming that I'm not dying of anything contagious, and assuming that I'm not dying of anything that restricts my movement to any great extent (e.g. I'm not about to be executed, or I'm not about to freeze to death after falling down a mile-deep crevice in a remote region of Antarctica), then I'd probably try to get some pity sex. "Hey baby, your place or mine?" "Get away, you creep!" "Sob, moan, now I'll die a virgin, and it's all your fault!" "Oh, you poor loinburger... Wait, you're not contagious, are you?" "Umm, a bit, y'see, I'm dying of syphilis..." "You *******, you said you were a virgin!"

Enter the AD-FREE zone

First thing I would do would be to establish Millions of Dollars worth of Life Insurance Policies...

Then I would do many of things I had never done before but wanted to do before I die... regardless of what they cost... because any debt I ran up would be covered by the Insurance policies later.

My family would be set for life, and I would at least enjoy whatever time I had left on this level of existence.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

If I'm going to die in the next weeks or so then I'm maxing out the credit cards, taken a loan from the bank, and just go on a spending spree.

Vegas here I come for a week, of gambling, womanizing, and drinking.

I don't have any kids so maybe trying to knock a girl up would be on the menu.

and I would like one before I died

I am not sure of the ethical issues of having a child when you know you are going to die

Depends on how short the timeframe is . . .

If it were just a couple of days I think I would just stay at home with my family and talk endlessly to my son.

If it were a matter of weeks/months, I could see going on a big trip to see more of the world before I go

Hmmm... killing yourself 0.0000001 sec away from the end does seem appealing, but I'd have to change my answer with this one:

requirement: Death must be sudden and violent. (Lightning striking me would be best) and I need to know the exact time. (hopefully a digital watch thats ticking down)

I'd goto a very public place and shout something along the lines of "If fingering myself up the ass is a sin, well I dont give a **** anymore. This religion blows! There I said it! hahaha I said it. And if God doesnt like it, may he strike me dead!"

"Bang!"
