Oh..and if there wasn't air you wouldn't be here to ask the question, therefore there is bound to be air.
A bit like those silly...'what are the chances of us existing?' questions...It is a certainty..'cos if it hadn't happened we wouldn't be here to ask the question...thus the probability of intelligent life on earth is by definition 100%.... If there wasn't intelligent life there would be no 'definition' of 'intelligent' QED.

Yeah me too. That first good answer mark was mine. I offered it begrudgingly.
