My favorite defenestration is defenestration. It should be an Olympic sport.

"OUT OF THE WINDOW WE GO, TO REALMS OF DEATH WHICH LIE UNKNOOOWWN!!"

Fun fact: I once wrote an upbeat, jovial power metal song about suicide titled "S.A.D. (Self Administered Defenestration)"

@Red: the one I posted was better quality ;)

17:52 - Troy Killjoy
Fun fact: defenestration is one of my favorite words.
