The Daily Grind: What's your funniest death

The other day, we were kicking around some of the funniest deaths we'd experienced in different MMOGs. There were those who had accidentally typed "a" back in the day in EverQuest while trying to /hail an NPC — thereby attacking them, since "a" was auto-attack. Others had some great stories to tell from World of Warcraft, such as one tale of a poor unwitting group that went into Scarlet Monastery and weren't aware you needed to clear the entire cathedral before you pulled the boss at the end. (He calls all mobs still alive in the cathedral to come beat you to a pulp otherwise. Oops.)

One of our favorites had to have come from our own blogger, Adrian Bott. Adrian's own silly character death came while playing Age of Conan. He said that while merrily smacking chickens to watch them explode in game, he was unexpectedly attacked and beaten to death by an angry chicken seller NPC. That has to be one of the strangest (but funniest) deaths we've heard of as yet. What would be some of your funniest deaths in an MMO?
