LEGEND: -- defined by a highly flexible set of parameters, which may include miracles that are perceived as actually having happened, within the specific tradition of indoctrination where the legend arises, and within which it may be transformed over time, in order to keep it fresh and vital, and realistic.

Reality, in everyday usage, means "the state of things as they actually exist." [1] [2] The term reality, in its widest sense, includes everything that is, whether or not it is observable or comprehensible.

Like to think of himself as the "man of steel" closest to got to a "punch" was watching "war" movies and the "dragons" getting belted!

He has used the "fear factor" at all opportunities, he's read about all this stuff but his next fright may be his first. I see him as an extremely "poor" ex"ample" of Australian manhood, a whimp and coward!

Arjay, what (pray tell)would you know about ordinary workers? or any workers for that matter?
