Anyone in China who's 80 right now has already survived WW2, the Civil War, the Great Leap Forward, the Anti Rightist campaign, and the Cultural Revolution. They're still going to be doing Tai Chi in the park at 100 because there is nothing on Earth left that can kill them.

Then I started to think (yeah, actually) that greeks named heavenly bodies after gods so you can read it as:
1st stage: nothingness (all mass in existence with infinitely small volume)
2nd stage: sudden creation of first generation of elemental gods (big bang -> loads dust -> star formed)
3rd stage:  new generations of gods and the world are created by gods having children (exploding of stars, creation of elements by fusion in stars' cores, and expansion of the universe)

so greek lore is a surprisingly accurate metaphor for what we understand about the universe's creation and existence. (at least it's closer than 7 day creation)

Couple that with the single live .22 round I found in my wallet yesterday @ work, and I think I need to stop using my pockets to transport ammunition so often.
