I wonder, did Einstein know about this universal constant?!

he made the mistake of assuming life is made of equations, unfortunately that was due to his educated mind that gave him myopia.

If not your opia, whose should he have gotten?

Not just any opia, but dystopia.

nobody ever won a game by quitting, I'm not saying that's actually true but you know, you get the general idea.

What if the name of the game is "i quit"?

whose opia he should have got is a mystery.

the escape clause I inserted handles that one, silent.

This is why we must never invent a game called "I quit". We might chip the universe's paint form the paradox.

Whoever said, "Nobody ever won a game by quitting" has obviously never played a whole six rounds of Russian Roulette.

Well, I'm no "Einstein" (don't everybody contradict me at once), but I'd Love to be part of the ultimate Universal Constant!

Also, with regard to "quitting," has anybody reminded us of what we all learned from Matthew Broderick in War Games ? --  that the only way to win at "Global Thermonuclear War" is not to play?

I quit but still never grew those 4-6 inches that I shoulda.
