so in other words if I get to be famous musician in under 4 years I could die the next year yeah.

You could die tomorrow, too...most probable cause in the US if you are under 30 is a car accident.

seems likely as since my mom got new tires she's had a lot of bad luck with people cutting into the traffic right in front of her or just having to hit the brakes to stop to let someone out of it.

Not guns of course.

Actually, guns aren't that far down the list....somewhere around 10,000 per year are killed by guns, as opposed to 30-40K per year by cars. (It helps to live in the wrong neighborhood). But a mass killing? That's always news, whereas a singleton shooting is just barely news, and you need several dead in a car wreck to make the news at all.

Missed that 27Club boat though :([/QUOTE]

I broke my right arm recently, but quickly learned how to improvize.

the only way I see it possible for her to get to the one in 16 is if she was taught by one of the 15 because nobody else would truly know if her skill is 10th degree black belt.

SM88, in the same way it is possible for you to recognise a higher talent in math, so could the 9th degree blackbelts also recognize the difference between themselves and a 10th degree blackbelt.

I have ridden horses, and I can recognise an obvious show-jumping talent such as Joe Fargis (once I watched him ride his horse THROUGH a six-foot fence he was supposed to jump like he did that every day).

It might also be possible to recognise such an achievement objectively -- when I was practicing T'ai Chi, I could measure the reduction in my reaction times against soccer opponents, and I could see the thoughts that would enter my head like "now he's going to try to stop and kick past me, thinking I'm overcomitted...", with the result that when the stop came, I stopped too...
