  Ironic Deaths

Just for fun, if each of our friends died an ironic death, how would that individual die? Dictionary.com defines irony to be: A literary style employing such contrasts for humorous or rhetorical effect.

So, have fun, and leave a comment.

I think it would be pretty ironic if Foosh were involved in an accident where he is sent back in time several million years. His death - pushed into a tar pit by his pet sloth - isn't particularly ironic, but the discovery of the cave blog he kept (to keep him sane) inspired Bill Gates to design the Windows logo, and his fossilized bones disprove evolution.
 
nice
 
Ok, I got a few:

I would be stabbed to death by a green-skinned, glowey-eyed, lanturn-and-chef's-knife-weilding midget.

Sara would be trampled by rampaging emus.

Mei would die of a botched medical procedure (fucking fisios).

Monica would die in childbirth.

J would be gunned down in cold blood in a Rambo-esque rampage by Hillary Clinton in 2008 just after losing the presidential election.
 
After Lee is stabbed by the first improbable midget, a second midget with a speech impediment, a bulbous nose and wearing a pom-pom hat attempts to sell him stuff. After all, everyone knows that once a fight is over, as long as Lee's friends are still alive he has 1 hit point left and can still buy things.
 
Jeremiah, at age 95, dies peacefully in bed just hours after receiving a nobel prize. He is surrounded by his close family and friends, who flocked to his deathbed upon hearing that he had suddenly fell ill soon after winning the lottery jackpot for the 5th time.

It is said that he joyfully exclaimed 'I can now die in peace' as he forever departed the company of many adoring eyes. Tens of thousands of people would attend his funeral, millions more would pay him tribute with a candlelight vigil.
 
Well, if you were to die in childbirth, you would have to first succumb to your maternal clock and abandon your current hatred for babies. After 9 months of pregnancy, you'd have fully accepted your upcoming role as a mother. You'd have baby-proofed your home and aquired many baby related gifts, all in the spirit of welcoming your former arch-enemy into your life.

Your death during childbirth would prove that your former (current) view of babies as little, ugly, devil-people was right (or at least safer) all along.
