This is the alt.suicide.holiday methods file, translated into Russian:

    37. BEING BURNED UP IN UNPROTECTED RE-ENTRY (silly)

        Time: 
                probably a few minutes

        Available: 
                if you happen to be able to get into orbit

        Certainty: 
                about as certain as you can get!

        Notes: 
                Just go for a spacewalk in a low earth orbit, and
                decelerate enough to enter the atmosphere. You'll get a
                great view...

Now there's a blast from the past.

An even better way, super glue your hands to your head, tie cheese wire around your neck, then jump off of a building so's it looks like you pulled your own head off. Might send them a pull request now actually.
You've got it in the wrong order.
Haha very good point... I'll raise a hotfix.
Careful, you're treading on the verge of illegal now!
Funny part about this law is that's not illegal to write such things. It only requires ISP's to block them on request.
Practical and well worthy of censorship.
Looks like I will use VPN for HN too...
