Subject: [ExI] More die of heart attacks during sex than died of shock when<br>
Forrest Gump won best picture<br>
<br>
Like other old folks I look back on my life and regret mistakes I made, some<br>
of them real whoppers. But it occurs to me that if I had avoided those<br>
mistakes, my life may not have turned out any better.<br>
<br>
This gives me some humility about my social/political opinions.<br>

HAH! That sounds like a CHALLENGE! We are putting together a team for the<br>
upcoming international humility Olympics. We have Anders Sandberg and that<br>
religion guy (with all those churches and songs about him (can't remember<br>
the name)) we get you and me on there, we will totally whoop ass in the<br>
humility events!<br>
<br>
Oh wait, I just disqualified myself, damn.<br>
<br>
Bill thanks for that comment. The last decade of my life has given me some<br>
humanizing humility as well (that's how I became a silver medalist to start<br>
with.) <br>
<br>
Why did Forest Gump shock people winning best picture? I really liked that<br>
movie. If you are a Tom Hanks fan, do catch Mr. Rogers. I would say that<br>
is his best work, and is saying a lot in his case.<br>
