When I got shot in the head I realized just how lucky I have been, how lucky we all are, the importance of the Zanclean flood in our origin and deep-sea rare earth nodules in avoiding our untimely end. And that I'm a particularly lucky Martian!

I Am A Particularly Lucky Martian - 3

I think I've been pretty lucky and lived a pretty interesting life. My name is Jay Crandell and I have become very interested in our unlikely origins while reflecting on my unlikely survival from a very serious gunshot wound to the brain. This led me to examine our improbable emergence as a species and a civilization - and it sure looks like we're all really lucky Martians living in a multiverse, who owe our existence to Jupiter's presence, the Zanclean flood, the savannah's emergence and the hallucinogenic mushrooms that would grow on the droppings of the ruminants there, a well-timed supernova and an unusually docile sun!
