way back in 1996, i watched this movie during my 'seven-day-drunk' week, just after i turned in my masters thesis in structural engineering. uwe then though it would be a cool motto for our diplomfete on the 21st of september, so we printed t-shirts with this text on it. back then it was meant as a reminder of how i DON'T want to end. it still is today. every day. choose life!
