it seems like Hatrack has opted for the latter in this situation.

Burning to death, it takes longer and you actually die from slow suffocation amidst the shock of intense burning pain. Drowning is not painful except for that instant where you you die.

Burning is much worse. It doesn't have to be a very hot fire, and I couldn't bear the smell of me cooking. Edit: Receeding. You can always shave.
What's worse, stealing a little from the poor, or stealing a lot from the rich?

Maybe not physically. But I'd imagine the mental torture while drowning would be much worse: the silence, the solitude, the inability to vocally express your panic.
I can steal $10,000 from Paris Hilton which isn't that bad compared to stealing $5 from a homeless man on the street. Using that as reference I'd say that it's worse to steal a little from the poor.
Now, what's worse? Being eaten alive or eating someone alive(Why would you eat someone alive? I don't know, but that's your choice and let's say there was no way around it)?

Sadly, I don't think I have a right to answer this one. I'm guilty of both, the latter mostly just this time of year. The tapping, though...yeah, I think that's mostly due to the band geek in me. I have to keep my hands busy or I will start tapping on something. Or biting my nails...
