The french Mathematician Pascal said,
"When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space which I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, why now rather than then."
But of course, he was wrong.
Life is goverened by the three B's Babes, Booze, and Bullets,
or the three R's... Readin, Rip Roarin', and Rabble Rousin'.
