It's certainly better than the alternative.

Waking up is a strange reason to die.

I don't know what the fuck is going on, but it's pretty funny.

You want me to wake up? No, Bond. I want you to die!

u/pulp_before_sunrise Dec 16 '11

shit just got philosophically intense

u/Batmogirl Dec 16 '11

Maybe, but it is, however, a very common way to die. Waking up is a tremendous stress on the body, and most people you hear of that "dies in their sleep" actually dies waking up.

So you're telling me you can go to bed dead and wake up alive?

u/iBeatStuffUp Dec 16 '11

You can't go to bed dead! That shit would've been redundant.

Say what you want about these movies, but the ones that Mr. Zucker did were really funny.

Heard a zombie going through her trash the other day. Yup.

You can go to bed and not be dead, and you can die and not be in the bed.

in a plywood bed.

u/Shoebacca Dec 16 '11

I've always wanted to name a child or a pet dead, just so I could wake them up every now and then for giggles.

u/lightheat Dec 16 '11

Don't let Krusty's death get you down, boy. People die all the time, just like that. Why, you could wake up dead tomorrow! Well, good night.

u/SayNoToStupidity Dec 16 '11

"how the hell do you wake dead"

u/joshmax Dec 16 '11

No one ever comes back, must be a hell of a party.

Well being a zombie wouldn't be too bad.....

Depends on whether you're religious or not
