[QUOTE="jonesy, post: 5295134, member: 10324"] That again depends on how one defines it. If you are the kind of person who likes standing on the left side of the room, and the empty chamber happens to end up handed to the person on the left side of the room, which is you, then your tendency to be at the right spot saves you. Even if the chamber is re-rolled every time, and the gun is handed to the next person randomly, it's still your placement in the space time continuum which saves you. It's lucky, because it's not something you trained for, but it is a part of what you are, because of where who you are ends up taking you. Which ends with the question of whether your makeup defines where you end up in space time, or whether makeup of space time ends you where you go. Or whether it really is all random. At the atomic level cause and effect seem to pre-determine a lot, while at the quantum level cause and effect don't seem to get along very well. How this makes any sense, I have no idea. :) [/QUOTE]
