I think some voters are intimidated by the first option because Eaten alive a shark is italicized and it looks scarier.

And the "Pihrrahas devouring you" doesn't say whether you are dead first or not. It's implied by the title of the thread, but it could mean that you are already dead, and the fish are disposing of your corpse.
"Eaten alive by Piranhas" would have been more fair.

Did you vote for that option? It will appear italicized to you if you did. Maybe you knew that and were kidding...

Pirraharras, or whatever it is, is italicized for me.

I did not know that. I'm not that smart... no wait, I can blame the pain pills for my gray matter not mattering much these days. Pain pills, yes, I'll blame them. But brain death by pain pills was not an option, was it?
