Re: Closest you have come to dying
Not as scary as some of the others (particularly the heart transplant - wow!) but when I was about 22 I got into a fight with a guy who was brandishing a knife - I had no weapon. I brushed the knife aside with my left arm (got cut but not bad) and then head-butted him right in the nose. That was all it took, he had had enough.
Few years ago my buddy and I were driving down a road in Atlanta, he was driving, I was in passenger seat. We were slowing down for a stoplight at a freeway interchange when all of a sudden a car came flying up the offramp, jumped over the island for the right turn lane, then crossed four lanes of traffic, then jumped the median and then t-boned us right in front of the drivers' door. He was going about 70mph. Amazingly, none of us were hurt badly, though my buddy banged his knee and I had a cut to the bone on my forehead.
Also, I guess when I was very young I had some kind of a fever and my temperature skyrocketed. I don't know what it was but I know that my mother ended up wrapping me in a wet sheet and covering me with towels on the advice of hospital emergency. I guess it worked, I'm still here.
