  • did you not see the "puns [are] the lowest form of humour" thread a little down the FP? The "best laid plans..." For shame! as to the actual link, interesting that there is evidence that people have a significant level of accurcy predicting how much longer they will live.
  • I was thinking this might explain a few of Henry VIII's problems. Maybe his wives didn't have the confidence that they would live for very long.
