** 40?!?!?! That's it? Man...I need to travel some more and be a bit more brave. Am I really that sheltered? **

No, you're not sheltered. Actually, 40% isn't too bad, considering some of the items. I'm really quite impressed. I think you've done more than I have. Besides, quite frankly, if doing ALL of those things is considered "living," then I am okay with being dead, because I am NOT going to do them all (I do not feel that "living" is defined by eating fish eggs or getting a tattoo or doing things that would require you to have surgery more than once...) Still, it's kind of fun to keep track of the things you HAVE done and share them with others...Thanks!
This looks like fun--I'm stealing it!
