I've done 46 of them (arguably ;P). Not bad considering I've only been on the planet for 20 years.

* I included this one, because I think reality is at least a little bit subjective.. and because when I was about 3 or 4 years old I went on some kind of ferry with my family, but I swear it was a ship! A massive mother of a ship. I'm talking cruise ship proportions. My distorted memory even went so far as to convince me that we were on the ocean... when it was actually just the Swan River! Anyway, the reason I remember it is because I was dangling my feet over the edge of the ship (I won't back down on this one!) and one of my new, shiny black shoes fell off and sank into the murky depths of the ocean!! I cried and cried, until my sister (3 years my senior) cheered me up and in fact made me laugh by making up stories about the fish and various creatures that would find my shoe and how they would put it use. Laughter is even better than bandaids at 'making it better'.
