Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson once said, “My life is given that much more meaning knowing that I’m going to die.” Tell that to the guy who’s dying.

One man who thought he was at death’s door spent every cent he had living his life to the fullest completing his “bucket list” before he kicked it, only to discover the diagnosis was wrong and he is in perfect health. Maybe he can take some comfort in knowing that none of these wastes of life’s time were on his “To-Kick-Off-List.”
