To further my morbid turn, the topic of Pompeii came up at a dinner with friends. One person was describing the imagined scene at the docks, when everyone realized they would die, "Can you imagine standing there, knowing that you and everyone you love was going to die, and everything you had would be destroyed?"

I replied, "so basically it would be just like our own lives, just in fast forward." :)

Pfft, the heat death of the universe makes everything pointless.   :rolleyes:

Fits the pattern of picking billionaire CEOs of major businesses.

I am reposting myself from the Books thread to see if more people had the same reaction I did.

Does this portrait look uncannily like a contemporary beardless Russian to anyone else?
