For me, it's disappearing. That someday something will happen to me and no one will ever know what it was and where I am. That I will become one of those mysteries you see online and on TV shows. Whenever I think about it I feel nothing but dread.

My biggest fear is that my office chair might break in such a way that the hydraulic piston breaks through the seat and punctures my colon.

Well thanks a lot, that's now my fear too.

Oh... oh no... Damn it, I will never sit in an office chair the same ever again without thinking about this.

Have you seen the Mythbusters episode?

I don't remember it. But there's enough metal hardware under the seat that I'm sure it's basically impossible to break that way.
