Ah, c'mon guys! If we've come to this conclusion about this thread, then what say we at least "class it up" a bit and borrow a line or two from The Bard:
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5
