I Am A Particularly Lucky Martian

I think I've been pretty lucky and lived a pretty interesting life. My name is Jay Crandell and I have become very interested in our unlikely origins while reflecting on my unlikely survival from a very serious gunshot wound to the brain. This led me to examine our improbable emergence as a species and a civilization - and it sure looks like we're all really lucky Martians living in a multiverse, who owe our existence to Jupiter's presence, the Zanclean flood, the savannah's emergence and the hallucinogenic mushrooms that would grow on the droppings of the ruminants there, a well-timed supernova and an unusually docile sun!
