You would be you I think but just a different kind of you... like if you didn't like peas you might like them in the alternate universe... totally off topic but have you seen the film another earth?

I love peas, but I hate eggs. Probably like them somewhere in a parallel place to here.

Two examples spring to mind: the first has a handy diagram! Stop laughing at my pathetic drawing skills! Stop it!

One day I was on my way to work. My office was in an industrial estate, and to get to it I had to cross a few roads and pass other buildings. One of these, DHL, is just down from my road and as I came to the crossing there was a big truck waiting to go. So I thought, will I just leg it over before he moves or will I wait? I decided to wait. Whereupon a ****ing bat out of hell driver came screaming down the road, did a totally seamless S-turn without looking and screeched into his parking space. Had I started to walk I was dead. He could neither have seen me nor stopped in time. I would have been all over the road. It shook me up, I can tell you, that one decision like that probably saved my life. But in some alternate dimension, did I make the other decision and die?



The other thing that comes back to haunt me was a few years ago when I was in my sister's bedroom upstairs and she was screaming about a bluebottle in the room. Doing what I always did, I opened the window and tried to flick it out the window with a shirt or something. The sleeve caught a snowglobe that was on the windowsill and it tumbled to the ground, smashing, just as two kids walked by outside under the window. Jesus! Had that fallen OUT instead of IN those kids were probably dead, or very seriously hurt at least. I often wake up sweating about that one, and how, in another universe, that precise thing did happen.

On such tiny decisions, and the vagaries of fate and chance, can your life change forever.

Anyone else have "near-misses" or wonder what would have happened if...?
You people are really losing your marbles around this place.

Oh the horror at that drawing Trollheart!

I'm a subscriber to the train of thought that if there are alternate universes then they are completely different from this universe instead of just little offshoots about different near misses. It is not like a choose your own adventure book.

I had a near miss though when I was younger and I still have the scar to this day to remind me to never disobey my grandmother because she's a cruel woman that didn't want me to get stitches for that reason.

I left the house when she wasn't there to go play with some friends and we were playing the rock game w/e that is. We were just throwing rocks at each other(ahhh wasted youth). My friend picked up a huge rock and it looked like it was coming towards my head so I ran out into the street and this car swerved around the corner heading towards me. I closed my eyes and blacked out so I have no idea what happened exactly during that time period but as I started to walk home my head felt a bit chilly so I touched it and I was bleeding pretty badly. When my grandmother got home, she whipped me while I was still bleeding then treated the wound to stop the bleeding and gave me that disobedience spiel.

You mean in the mathematical sense or the mystical sense?

Pretty sure I had a vision of myself wearing a top hat and a SICK mustache in an alternate universe last time I was at mass. That was a few years ago though.
