that article suffers from the same fallacy as the ol 'back on your heads' joke: -- a guy dies and goes to hell. upon arrival, the devil allows him to pick one of three rooms where he will then spend eternity.

in room one, people are being devoured by horrible beasts. in room two, people are being burned alive ( thats harsh). in room three, everyone is up to their waist in the smelliest, most putrid, disgusting shit he ever encountered -- but they're chit-chatting away, drinking coffee and having donuts. after a brief reflection, the guy chooses the room with waist deep shit, coffee and donuts.

a few minutes late the devil comes back and yells "alright scumbags, everyone back on your heads". --

...in medieval times you got one of the three rooms with the occasional coffee and donut break.

nowadays, in our briefer vacations we can be ON A BOAT mf'er - don't you ever forget! :):):)
