OK, so far my vote is with filthy's: "Pascal's Wager: Life's a bitch and then you die. Therefore it makes more sense to pursue jolly Will o' the Wisp than savor the natural world."

Pascal's Wager: None of us will make it out of here alive, so I'll play the $2.00 trifecta - Big Daddy, Junior and The Spook.
