Q: in a christmas carol,by dickens, the last stave the shortest one?
A: Probably because when Scrooge sees how his life and life in general when he is dead is so intense that he really didn't need to see much more..I love that movie, and always try to make a point to watch it at least once during the Christmas holidays..take care and I hope 2008 is filled with many PEACEful moments for you and all those that you love...;0)
