"a Woman needs a Man, like
a fish needs a bicycle.
When you're tryin' to throw your arms
around the world..."
-U2
_ _
_- -_- -_ My philosophy, more or less:
``
Q: Why are we here?
A: Because we @i(can) be here.
Q: Why @i(can) we be here?
A: Well, the laws of the Universe are just right to permit it.
Q: Why?
A: Well, you wouldn't be here to ask me that if they weren't.
Q: True. But I'm not really satisfied with that. How does God and Soul
come into it?
A: Well, God doesn't seem to have a hell of a lot to do with anything.
And as for the soul, well, people seem to like the idea, but there's
no reason to believe there is such a thing.
Q: So what's our purpose? On Earth, I mean, in the Universe?
A: Purpose? That never really enters into the picture. You're just
asking why we're here in another way. And the only reason is that
it is possible for us to be. Listen, if you mix up a whole bunch
of cow manure in a pot and let it sit there and simmer for five
billion years, you may be surprised to find an advanced civilization
has developed out of the cow manure. Moreover, the civilization is
no less grand for its humble origins. In fact, it is grander.
Q: I'm going to have to think about this.

enigma (CDE):
To have a friend;
you need to believe that you have friends
you need to be a friend
you need to be willing to take time out for your friends
you need to be willing to talk with friends
-you need to love

jtkohl (John T Kohl):
"The Price of Bicycle Safety", USAA Aide Magazine, December 1991, p. 5.
Bicycle accidents send more than 575,000 riders to the doctor or
emergency room each year. Of those, nearly 50,000 suffer serious head
injury. Wearing a bicycle helmet can prevent 85 percent of those head
injuries. Yet, many people---parents, in particular---balk at
purchasing a bicycle helmet because they feel the cost (usually $30 to
$50) is too high. But take a look at what a bicycle accident resulting
in head injury could cost, on the average, in one major metropolitan
area, according to the National Head Injury Foundation:
One visit to the family doctor: $50.
An ambulance ride to an emergency room: $125, at the minimum.
(You could buy four $30 helmets for that.)
Treatment in the emergency room: Approximately $1,100. (That's
the cost of 37 helmets.)
Acute medical care in the hospital, per day: $2,000. (Or 67
helmets each day.)
Total cost for medical care and rehabilitation following
life-altering brain injury: At the minimum, $4 million. (For that
amount of money, you could give two helmets to each person passing
through the gates at the Super Bowl.)

mingliu (Minghsun Liu):
"I think I am designed by a force I can not content with, living in a
world that really doesn't exist anymore. I believe in the basic law of
natural selection where those achieving the greatest reproductive
success are selected for, but I do not have any child. I also believe
hunting is one of the most crucial step in the evolution of Homo
sapiens, but I do not cosume any meat. We do not know how much things
are capable of changing, but at least we are sure that we can rise and
revolt. The evolution of life on earth does not tell us what is correct
and what is wrong or that we have to base living on the exercise of free
will."

K{{nn|s er{{n amerikkalaisen koulupojan (ik{ 9 v.) aineesta nimelt{{n:
MIKSI AION TULLA ISONA?
-----------------------
Haluan tulla lent{j{ksi, kun olen kasvanut isoksi---koska se on
hauskaa hommaa ja helppoa. Sen takia on nykyisin niin paljon lent{ji{.
Lent{jien ei tarvitse k{yd{ paljon koulua, heid{n on vain opittava
lukemaan numeroita, jotta he osaisivat lukea mittareita. Luulen, ett{
heid{n pit{{ osata lukea my|s karttoja, niin ett{ he l|yt{v{t perille
jos ovat eksyksiss{.
Lent{jien on oltava rohkeita, niin etteiv{t he pel{sty, jos on
sumuista niin ettei voi n{hd{ tai jos siipi tai moottori putoaa pois,
heid{n on pysytt{v{ rauhallisina, jotta he tiet{isiv{t mit{ pit{{
tehd{.
Lent{jill{ pit{{ olla hyv{t silm{t, niin ett{ he n{kev{t pilvien l{pi,
eiv{tk{ he saa pel{t{ salamoita tai ukkosta, koska he ovat l{hemp{n{
niit{ kuin me.
Min{ pid{n my|s siit{ palkasta, jota lent{j{t saavat. He saavat
enemm{n rahaa kuin ehtiv{t kuluttaa. Se johtuu siit{, ett{ useimmat
ihmiset pit{v{t lent{mist{ vaarallisena, paitsi lent{j{t, jotka
tiet{v{t kuinka helppoa se on.
Ei siin{ ole paljon sellaista, mist{ en pit{isi, paitsi se, ett{ tyt|t
pit{v{t lent{jist{ ja kaikki lentoem{nn{t haluaisivat menn{ naimisiin
lent{jienkanssa, niin ett{ heid{n on aina ajettava ne pois jotteiv{t
ne olisi h{iri|ksi. Toivottavasti en tule ilmasairaaksi. Jos tulen
ilmasairaaksi ei minusta voi tulla lent{j{{ ja sitten minun pit{{
menn{ t|ihin.
