A month or two ago I was lying awake in bed unable to sleep (A usual occurence in the life of Tinman) when a new voice spoke in my head, it said \"Tiernan, look up\" I looked up and much to my surprise ther was a sort of horse man thing\'s face poking through the ceiling, by horse man I don\'t mean like a centaur, I mean like when you refer to HomoErgusta or Erectus with Ape Man, it\'s sort of half way half man half beast in the facial features, well this is what the The horse man thing was, but horse instead of ape.

He sighed the sigh you\'d sigh had you struggled all you life to learn something and then when you explained it to someone they went \"Is that it?\" and then he opened his mouth and said

\"Tiernan, I have come to inform you as to something it is your right to know, I have come to tell you the Meaning of Life.\"

I Nodded, He Said

\"The meaning of everyones life is different, it\'s whatever they stopped attempting right before they died... Say you were looking forward to pudding, you made the pudding and then you ate it, if right after you swallowed the last bit of pudding you died, then pudding was the meaning of your life\"

Then rather too abruptly for my liking he withdrew back into the ceiling. I lied there for most of the rest of the night with my eyes wide open (A usual occurence in the life of Tinman) feeling releived and somewhat enlightened.

So there you go, now you can die knowing that the meaning of your life was to find out the meaning of life, or, if you survive, the meaning of your life is something different.

(Afterthought: This means the meaning of Vincent Van Goughs life was Blackbirds Over Cornfield)
