Dude. It's TWAIN. The quote, although I'm not sure where it's from, is supposed to be meaningful. People give a word it's meaning, and in this sense, he used a connotation of "death" to mean "non-existence," since that's basically what death means, in a broad sense.Depravo said:Then Twain's mixing up definitions. To be dead means there had to be a living organism that came to an end of its biological life.Uncle FEFL said:The universe is 6.72 billion years old
I thought the latest calculations had the age of the Universe at around 13 billion?
Haha, excuse me. Make that "13.72 billion," I have no idea where the hell that six came from!

Also, Twain's comment (I was dead -> suffered no inconvenience), that is if he really meant it and wasn't just being whimsical and witty, seems to suggest he believed that mind exists independently of matter, mind-matter dualism.

If there would be such a thing as a God, who is omnipotent (which literally translates to being capable of doing everything), then why can't he/she/it push an immovable object?
That is all.
