With all the care taken to avoid the destruction of historic sites in Iraq, I'm wondering why there were no arrangements made to protect the Bagdad Museum from looters.

Well, shit happens.

I've been hearing about several guys younger than I dropping dead from natural causes lately. A troubling thing to contemplate; there's this milestone in life when most people younger than you have accomplishing way more, but on the other hand they're also dying. It's like the lament of not getting a fair share of sexual adventures, but on the other hand never catching any venereal disease.

Lucky You!
