No offence gentlemen, but sometimes, boys is stupid...
My sister's BF got pissy last night (valenines day of all days) and ended up stomping out of our house to go drinking with his friends, leving my sis alone and crying. The only reason he is still alive right now is because I didn't get to him in time... (sorry boys, it's not a knock against ALL of you)

On a brighter note, I'm finally beginning to figure out this immortality business. Pretty much the whole of the argument depends on the idea that there COULD BE (not necessarily ARE) multiple worlds in which every possible outcome of an event occurs. Given that, for example, the moment I get hit by a bus, there is another world where I have a counterpart who does NOT get hit by said bus.

It gets ridiculously complicated after this and goes into a couple of things called 'non-branching', 'co-reductionism' and 'causal connexity' which the argument also depends on. I'm still not really sure I get those last two, but 'non-branching' goes something like this: (note: this is the actual example my prof gave us.)

Captain Kirk is getting beamed down to the surface of a planet but something goes horribly awry and the transporter splits him in two. So there's one Kirk milling about the Enterprise, while the other is down on Vulcan making out with Spock's sister (because that's what he does, I guess). So we can either say that there are two of him, or that there are NONE of him depending on whether you think non-branching is important or not. This does play into the whole argument somehow, but I haven't figured that part out yet.

Holy long post Batman! If anyone is still reading this, you deserve a prize for putting up with my incoherent babbling. Here! Have a cookie! *munch munch...*
