How to become a legend

Step:4 Die in an awesome way

Not for you a quiet death in a hospital bed. No, you
must find some more explosive way to depart the world
- if not literally, at least figuratively. Consider being run
down, alone, by a horde of enemy cavalry, half of which
you smite with a broadsword before meeting your fate.
If this is impractical, it may be a good idea to head out
on a suicidal mission to save the world in an exotic
location like Antarctica , Tehran or Wichita.
Even better is to leave a genuinely spectacular final
thought for future millennia to remember. Some of the
greatest legends of all time are built on great last
words, so practice your skills by matching these
famous last words to the great men and women who
said them.

Here are the famous last words:
1. "Useless, useless."
2. "Kiss me, Hardy."
3. "I wonder why he shot me."
4. "Go away. I'm all right."
5. "Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said
something."
6. (stepped on the executioner's foot) "Pardon me."
7. "Et tu, Brute?"
8. (after his wife told him he was getting better)
"On the contrary!"
