I thought not... And, to "add-a-tad" MORE perspective to things, one's chances of placing a bet on a single number on a Roulette table, OR on the Big Wheel, and winning, is one in 36. The chances of being hit by lightning in ones life, or getting lung cancer as a NON-smoker, is only one in 2000 (as a smoker, your chances are only increaced by 7 - 12 times, i.e., 12 times in 2000). And, one's chances of being struck by lightning in their life time is only one in 2000. I rest my case. =================================================== Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
