Final Destination. How bizarre.
Jeez man..that’s awful.
Was it Willie Dixon who said “If it wasn’t for bad luck, I wouldn’t have no luck at all”
Reminds of a Barney McKenna remark, made on a flight to Australia.
He is very nervous about flying and to ease his mind..in a fashion…somebody, I think it was Luke Kelly, pointed out to him that when your time is up..it’s up.
Barneys reply was..“Ah yeah but suppose the pilots time is up?”

I don’t like to think about it.
It would still be everyone’s time excepting, of course, any survivors. The Reaper’s pretty efficient, no? But, the article suggests that while it just goes to show that even a cat can fall on its back, it will take it from there. If you believe that sort of thing.
Coincidence, of course, but not a comfortable one.
To quote a book I read some years ago, “nature seeks to reassert the pattern that was meant to be.” Or something like that.

Man, that’s really rough.
So there are what, a few thousand people killed worldwide in plane crashes, and a couple hundreds of thousands killed in car crashes. So every time there’s a plane crash, within a few days of it there are ten times as many people killed in car accidents. It stands to reason that occasionally, one of the people killed in a car crash would have been booked on a plane that had crashed. Not often, but maybe every decade or so, and the way news works these days, every one of them would be publicized.

I plug my ears to your logic.

Him, and a bunch of other fellers who were born under a bad sign.

There’s a spare.
More cowbell!
That was crazy. I read that yesterday, and I was very shocked. ![]()
