You can only climb so high in this life before you bang your head on the ceiling.
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing. [
Macbeth]

It am wicked to mock the afflicted. [

Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope. [

Why does the Winchester Mystery House have stairs leading nowhere?

Look at how the site "How Stuff Works" drills down to that page.

Home > Science > Supernatural Science > Afterlife

From Science to the Afterlife? :lol:

The possibility that once you climb, you might trip (on the bottle) and fall?

As I read it the staircase leads nowhere, so there is no upward path to some sort of enlightenment to follow. I didn't notice the bottle when I found the pic, but if you like, how about it represents the option of using alcohol to help you forget that your life has no meaning...if you need it. :drunk:

If the bottle were full, then it could signify the basic tenet that you might as well stop climbing those fucking stairs and get shitfaced instead. If it were empty, it would be a sign that some other fucker has already been that way and drank all the booze, so you might as well stop climbing those fucking stairs and go find a pub that's open. Either way, booze wins. :tup:
