Lol, it's fine. I'm sorry you went through that, however.

Thanks, man.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Would you rather cut off the puppys head while his mom is watching and "crying" chained near by or be forced to cut off one of your fingers with an axe?

I'll cut as many puppy heads as needed to save my finger, thank you very much.

Oh man, I'm so sorry for my ignorant 'do tell grin' I'd heard of priapism but didn't think it would be a big deal... just embarrassing more than anything else. Please forgive me for my ignorance I'm so sorry you had to go through that

Would you rather be the last physical person left on earth or exist as an intangible ghost on a populated earth?
Lava's always held a strange fascination and fear for me because there are so many different films depicting in different ways what would happen if you fell/walked/were lowered into it; in King Solomon's Mines people fall into it and are obliterated in a burst of flame before they even touch it, in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, people burst into flame before they touch it but not as quick, in Terminator 2 - though that's not lava per se but molten steel - his hair doesn't burn until he's deep under and it touches the surface, and then in I think it's called Volcano with Tommy Lee Jones, there's a train in a subway full of lava and a guy has to run through it, burning as he goes, to get out. I'm thinking that would probably be the most accurate but I really have no idea what would realistically happen so that's why it's particularly terrifying. So based on that uncertainty I'd probably choose the acid because at least then I'd have a rough idea of what was going to happen.
Ooh, yours is a tough question... to be alone or to be alone... that is the question The latter I think. Both would be isolated but at least in the latter you could people-watch and continue to be reminded of humanity. http://mentalfloss.com/article/52770/if-...ld-you-die
Magma and lava are molten rock, but they don’t behave exactly like other liquids. First, they’re very dense—two to three times as much as water and the human body. Because of that density difference, a body thrown into a volcano, whether it belongs to Gollum or a sacrificial virgin, is going to float. What’s more, both magma and lava can be thousands to millions of times more viscous than water, and won’t deform as much or as fast when you hit it and allow you to sink.
If you don’t sink, though, burning to death isn’t necessarily the only other option (and if you did sink, you probably wouldn’t drown so much as quickly burn your lungs to nothing). It isn’t really an either/or question. You might burst into flames and burn when you hit the lava/magma’s surface (depending on the type, lava’s temperature ranges from approximately 1,200 to 2,200 degrees). You might also burn before you hit the lava/magma due to the radiant heat. Or you could asphyxiate or char your lungs due to the hot air and gases above the surface of the lake. (Of course, you can get pretty close to lava on the surface without burning, but the inside of a volcano is an enclosed space, so the heat can’t dissipate as much. The radiant heat is potentially much higher here.) There’s also the possibility of hitting a super dense substance at a high speed and simply breaking your neck or cracking your skull open. This is, unfortunately, one of those questions you can’t answer with much more than hypotheticals because testing those ideas would be very difficult—and insane.
I'm going with hitting the surface extremely fast....like terminal velocity.

Lose two arms or one leg?
Easily one leg - hands are way harder to recreate (and way more useful) than feet.
(For the males here) Have a permanent, unending 9 inch erection, or a 3 inch penis that functions normally?
A 3 inch penis, being a grower. jackpot

Would you rather freeze or burn to death?
I'd rather freeze to death in a place no one will find me for thousands of years, for future science of course! I, also don't want to be roasted when dead, not that I can complain at that point, but.

Def freezing, much less painful and I hear there's a nice warm fade away.
