This recalls for me the famous utterance of Oda Nobunaga.  After viewing
a _Noh_ play, he sprang erect from his apathetic lassitude and spoke:

"A man's life is fifty years.
 In the universe what is there but dream and illusion?
 Are there any who are born and do not die?"

Lord Oda went on to unify virtually all of Japan under his rule.  You, on
the other hand, posted to talk.bizarre in all caps.  There's a lesson here.

not only that, but you have more nearly seventy-seven years or so.
