So true, my friend, yet does that not give our journey through this life all the more value?

It's like Poison said back in the 80s: "Don't know what you've got until it's gone."

You and Poison, great philosophers both.

Andy

Somewhere, isn't there a FAQ (or how about commonsense) that suggests
that responding to these types of emails only fuels the non-sense? How
about all those chains of emails that that are protesting against spam,
and how it MUST be eradicated. Well I hate to be the one to point it
out, but if its off-topic and not Rails related, ITS SPAM! I joined
this list for Rails. I expect a small amount of spam, but not
contributed by the Rails community.

I guess this officially makes me a spammer.

The overall odds of dying are 1 in 1. That's an actual statistic.

I think you're confusing Ruby and Rails.

I guess the difference is treating the subject with humor vs. anger.

and, off topic, since this is ruby-talk, not the rails-talk list. ;^)

I would then suggest that you are perhaps on the wrong list. This list
is for Ruby in general, not just Rails specifically. There is tons of
traffic that is not Rails related, but is certainly not spam. You
probably want the Rails list, which you can subscribe to here:

Ah well, I sort of suspected that Poison was the Joni Mitchel of the '80s.

Actually, so far, it's about 0.92(+- 0.02) in 1. [1]

Eivind.

[1] When I checked, various estimates said between 6 and 10% of the
humans that have ever lived are alive now. These estimates were based
on different methods, sometimes radically different methods, and most
of them hit 7 or 8%, with some outliers.

Oh you guys are hilarious... How's that for humor?

Since we're all wasting each other's time... I guess I shouldn't feel
left out....

I mean... we all seem to be very well adept at building this bike
shed... but if we were talking rocket science or a nuclear reactor... it
would be a different story for sure...

Oh yes - Pandora had to be fodder for the corp fire wall, but it's not! :slight_smile:

And furthermore as all people who were born are not dead yet the overall
odds of dying must be slightly smaller than 1 in 1.
However this stupid talking :wink: will not make us live forever!

That is an amazing fact.

Yeah, but does that include the walking dead? Or the troglodytes that have
been anesthetized by TV, conventional media, internet, and fake voting
machine for American elections?

Oh and what about the kids that wear black trench coats wishing they were
dead? That should factor in too.

I'd like to get more statistics including animal. There ia a squirrel in
front of my house that was hit by a school bus last week and I swear he
chirps at my daughter for peanuts.
