So I thought that the ; was optional if you had only one statement but 
it won't compile.  If you have a block then the ;s are required.

public class test {
     public static void main(String... args) {

         new Thread(() -> System.out.println("hello world!") ).start();

         new Thread(() -> { System.out.println("goodbye"); } ).start();
     }
}

I bought a pretty good book, Java 8 Lambdas by Richard Warburton.

Thanks,

knute...
