Can it please stop?

I'll get right on that.

(And not trying to sound like a douche, well not a complete douche at least, but not sure what other comment I can make)

Way to callously react to one guy lamenting death. I'm guessing you ignored the concept of rhetorical questions just to have a chance to edge in your "witty" comment. And to the OP, yeah, stuff like that gets you down. But there's not always too much you can do.

 

I knew full well the futility of what I typed when I typed it, and his remark simply underscores it.

And I do understand the truth of statistical clustering, that seemingly random events will, because they are random, occur more frequently at one place or one time, at least during a relatively short period. This drives out brains batty, as we tend to see patterns in small samples, which often leads to the creation of superstition - ie the town's cursed. However, simply acknowleging that the universe isn't out to get us is not quite comforting enough.

Yeah, we just covered superstition and its psychological links/origins in my psych class, it's really fascinating stuff.
