Experimental evidence? If what you say was true, every hearse in the country would end up wrapping itself around a phone pole. Heck, I was on an airplane heading for a funeral last week. Made it, too. And what makes you think Wellstone's hired pilots were fixated on death at all? Odds are they didn't even know the person being buried, or give a rat's rump that they were flying passengers to a funeral. Certainly my pilots didn't know or care where I was going.

It's amazing how far the human mind will go to avoid wrapping itself around the concept of simple chaos.

The simple and humorous phrase, "Shit Happens" actually describes a profound concept which makes most people so intensely uncomfortable that they will seize on gods, conspiracies, Bilderbergers, aliens, standing waves, faeries, elementals, nature spirits, karma, Gaea, ancestors, loa, or anything else which helps convince them that Somebody Is Running Things, even if it's an evil Somebody.
