Contrary to the moaners and whiners on this forum would have you believe we are pretty damn lucky to live in this time. Wingding this morning and a tow boogie in the arvo what a time to be alive

You might to explain the link

Sorry, some people don't think we are lucky because luck isn't a thing. So it is said in the link.

But I stand with hilly.

We are lucky to be alive. And alive now. And alive here.

3 lucks. All of them massive. yep, 3 massive lucks from me. Others seemingly take it all for granted and don't give a luck,

I believe in luck, but I am an agnostic theisist. At first I thought I was an athiest.

Formula Nova thinks there is no such thing as luck. I think he just needs more people to punch lucky anecdotal information into him so he understands how lucky he really is.

I think if both you and Carantoc started 'punching' me it would just look like two fishwives slapping someone. You might need a third to even up the match though.

Did you really dox Carantoc before? Was that rough looking caricature really him? No wonder he is angry all the time.

You on the other hand need to understand definitions of luck and what an anecdote is. Don't ask crack and talk, he has no idea. He also doesn't know what anecdote means.

I think more important then just realiseing how lucky you are due to your current position on this spinning ball of doom is that everyone is pretty much same intelligence strength dexterity etc etc the fact that your not turning over a log to feast on some grubs isnt because your smarter then the caveman its simply because your not in his current position. Once you see this enough times in your life (my realisation point was watching kids on a "resort" island pulling bits of left overs out of burning rubbish bags (hot meal no flys) and the reason why the penny dropped was because i would do something simular with my siblings at first i believed these kids were just playing with the incinerator like we did as kids it wasnt until they started getting excited and eating from it did i realise ohhhh okay.... so the kids are the same as me but the situation is not.

Anyways i do believe i have been lucky many many many times i nearly die a couple times a year doing the canopy sport thing and with all my studying and experience you KNOW if the great sliding bar of variables had of just been a little more to the left or right you wouldnt be walking ever again.

But maybe you could still run the finke desert with a good enough rollcage and a couple ghost riders with ya not much you cant do with people helping ya.

If luck was truly real there would be some incredibly wild **** happening. Mouses killing lions people jumping to the moon or even wilder land a clean f16 7 on film

FormulaNova does seem to be very lucky.

Lucky that he is FormulaNova.

Imagine if somebody else was FormulaNova. How unlucky would they be ?
