The Dash Between the Dates

Napoleon's tombstone is huge. Churchill's is simple. The eternal flame burns over the grave of President John Kennedy. Very different lives, very different markers.
As different as each was from the other, their lives share at least one common mark: The dash between the dates. On every tombstone, whether simple or ornate, there is only one dash, or hyphen, between the dates.
The character and quality of our lives vary greatly. Yet, when all is said and done, we become precisely equal. They put one dash between the birth date and the death date.
We get one dash through life. That's it! No seconds! No restarts! Everybody finishes!
Some dash through life with great flair and style. Others become a quiet blur. Some run with long strides, leaving only toe marks in the sand. Most leave an erratic trail of footprints with more than a few heel marks. Many show evidence of being lost. Yet having lost their direction, they run all the faster.
The content of our "dash" varies. But in the end, the workmen will chisel only a dash. It reminds us of the stark truth: "Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people…"
In the end, men reduce all living to the cold mark on the stone. Those of us who "live a life worthy of the Lord," following in the footsteps of Jesus, find the end of earth's dash to be the beginning of heaven's glory.

-Joseph B. Fuiten

The Occulus Rift is a virtual reality headset, basically a pair of goggles that has a screen, so that you'd be able to realistically simulate being a surgeon, be able to "look" around virtual blueprints of a house, and make it seem like you are actually in a game, by letting you look through the eyes of your character.

However, the company was recently bought by Facebook, and there has been a lot of outrage over the desicion. Here are my two favorite comments on the article's page:

Robbing banks is so 20th century. Today the bank robs us.

Facebook: Hey guys! So with the Oculus Rift, you can log into Facebook. After doing so, if you look towards the ground, you can scroll down your Facebook comments…. how cool right? ………Right?

"In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue natural justice. This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No, not vengeance…Punishment” and “Those who do evil to others the killers, the rapists, psychos, sadists you will come to know me well. Frank Castle is dead. Call me: The Punisher."

HOW DARE YOU CALL HER 'some lady'! YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED TWICE OVER OF YOURSELF!

HAVE YOUR PARENTS APOLO~

Nevermind. Hopefully you've learned your lesson.

And remember, all that ^ is sarcastic.

By the by, Noah, all that ^ was irony, not sarcasm.

It pains me to say it, but you credit me with more wit than I possess.
The sarcasm/irony is just a big joke in my family, and I thought I'd share the fun.

Then what was it?

IRONY: the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect (The New Oxford American Dictionary)
SARCASM: the use of irony to mock or convey contempt (same source)
