I wasn't going to google what I thought the answer was, especially not at work, but I was fairly certain it had something to do with Joe Orton.

The same reason that everyone else dies.

Because death has nothing to do with good and bad...

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

In his case it appears to be that although planes and cranes rhyme, they are unable to share the same space.

Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

It there's one thing which applies to 100 percent (yes, one hundred percent) of the population, it is this. Perhaps no other thing occurs with this much certainty.

Well in order to die one must be alive so the inverse of death is also 100 percent for everyone.

And a good sign of good people being born is the question posted in the first post.

In death, we are all equal.

Now, be honest: how many of you do spend more time trying to decide "which is quicker" than the task would have taken if you had gone either way instead.

Yes, I do. Blush | :O

Well for me - it's not "always" about which one is "quicker" to implement, it's "mostly" about scalability and maintenance. Smile | :)

As they say in the Royal Navy:

A good officer is one who makes decisions quickly.

If those decisions turn out to be the right ones, then so much the better.

It is like the Queueing Paradox. whichever queue you pick the others are faster but moving will make the original queue quicker.

Every time I've been to ExCeL, London it's been a disappointment: more time standing in queues that looking at anything useful.

My missus annoys me with this, because she'll insist on going to a queue with six people with baskets, rather than one with two people with full trolleys, even though she's seen that the "shorter" queue clears faster every time.

It's the people who consume the time, not the item-scanning.
