The farther you move away the smaller things become, but the angles appear narrower and then it disappears altogether.

Changing subject ... typical press prior to last Caulfield Cup ...
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/10/14/2390371.htm
Here's a conspiracy theory for you ...
Recent hype over Weekend Hussler ... now could that be a bookie's plot ?
- or at best an irresponsible press - propaganda to make the horse an "emotional crowd favourite" or near favourite ? Only to be soundly beaten in the race.
- not that I bet on horses - except for the Melb Cup - most years probably not this lol.
Heck , we all know what happens to your bank account when your heart takes over from your head, and you bet on "crowd favourites" - take the stock market for instance ... 
PS Disclaimer.. I have no idea what odds he got down to ... or the accuracy of the above for that matter ... Didn't really follow the race ... just that I don't trust the racing industry as a reliable place to "invest" .
"Horse, he amazing animal, he can take thousands of people for ride, all at same time".

PS conclusion :-
best not to bet on a horse (or shares) that "the bellhops are all talking about" - sure to be lower odds (or overpriced) compared to "the quiet achievers"

Hello,
If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.

But if the sands of time keep moving no-one will know you were there...
Best off doing a Kilroy... preferably in something solid.

When your outside at night looking up to the sky... think about the power of space, never ending reaches of the cosmos, infinity...
Think about that the next time you squash an ant...

Thank you for your excellent views, they are straight to the point. Just a pity they're built on sandcastles.

Always fear the greatest danger and never think you are a charmed person. Lest they lay flowers on your grave.

It's always difficult, at a moment in time, to know, when riding the train of life, where you are going; your destiny is seen on arrival.
