  • The Universe And You.  Which of the following phrases is most appealing to you?



    1.  The Earth is round.
    2.  The Earth is a sphere.
    3.  The Earth is an irregular (oblong) sphere.


    Discuss why.  Note that all these statements are true, for a given value of "true."

  • Um, ok.....

    my favorite phrase is "Note that all these statements are true, for a given value of 'true.'".

    This may be as close to a summary of my life philosophy as could be contained in a single sentence. Near as I've been able to tell, everything is true, from a particular perspective, within a given definition, during a particular set of circumstances, etc.

    It helps to explain Republicans, librarians, belief in a higher being, hot dogs, mathmatics, and why sometimes imaginary weasels urinate on my foot.

  • Want to trade up for actual felines urinating on your foot? :)

  • um....

    no.

    no maam.

    I like the weasles just fine.

    Thank you.
