| Dec 9, 2016 at 8:04 | comment | added | Sasha | Just to add. There is an anecdote about Ded Moroz (Russian fairy tail character, who was actively pushed as surrogate of Saint Nicholas (a.k.a. Santa Claus) at Soviet time to "clear" New Year celebration from religious elements (turning it into purely secular and childish-fairy-tail event)). That is: Once a child sees Santa Claus putting gifts under Christmas tree. He says happily: "Santa Claus, now I know you exist!" And Santa answers: "Yes. Therefore now I must kill you." | |

| Apr 2, 2015 at 12:39 | comment | added | Henry Taylor | @Kevin, the point was to demonstrate that the sum of the two lists don't have to be inclusive of every child on the planet. If I was a little flamboyant in the way I presented that point, well that's just artistic license. | |

| Apr 1, 2015 at 21:07 | comment | added | Bret | I like this unexpected twist on mutually exclusive lists, the purgatory to the proverbial Heaven and Hell. | |
