<b>Local Teen Killed by Flying Potato</b>
Not the most painful way to die, but if that newspaper is read by thousands, I'd hate to be known in the afterlife as the guy that died from a flying potato.

The never dying would be death of the soul. The Living Dead, so to speak. I would say this would only apply if you absoulty <b>could not</b> die. AKA, cast into the sun and just float though it not kind of dying.
As for your time loop, that would be Hell.
Personal worst way of dying would be drowning, or getting eaten by something in the water. I hate the ocean.
Either taking turns and being reserected and doing each death mentioned here
And/or Drownding in a sewer after being napalmed
and/or getting raped by a non human annimal such as a bear/porcipine, turtle and than forced to give birth to the creation(even if you are a male), than getting eaten alive.
Never dying is bad now? What am I missing? I'd allways forget something(e.g. what happened in various tv shows) so I would ALLWAYS have something to do. Granted it would be really nasty having to spend all of eternity blind and deaf or something.
