Being "scared half to death" is an uncommon event, else the world would be filled with the half-alive. Being "scared half to death" a second time would indicate a unique propensity for attracting this phenomenon. Hence, you might reasonably expect being "scared half to death" to happen to you with ever greater frequency. Now, each occurrence becomes an event in a series, and, assuming you start at a full-life value of 1, you can see that, although the value of your life asymptotically approaches zero (the doornail state), you will never actually achieve total death. -------------------------- Ed Price [email protected] Electromagnetic Compatibility Lab Cubic Defense Systems San Diego, CA.
