What do you know?

This is not a real question for the masses.
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
The difference between what you say and what you actually know will be proven with time.
Thus, I will see you all again at the reunion in 10 years. It will be a blast.

However,
there are plenty of other discussions we may have at this time concerning knowledge.

Why does the psychic hotline ask for your credit card number? Shouldn't they already know it?
This is a simple screening procedure for seeing which clients are lying.
 Liars are then billed for their phone time and given obviously bad answers to their inquires as to their futures and fortunes.
 However, honest clients are given honest answers. 


Can you actually know yourself without knowing your full life story, thus, can you know yourself before you die?





For those of you who are reading this instead of homework or work, here is another website an interesting take on what it means to know something:

So, what do you know?

Love Has Tainted The Waters

So, I thought today I might tackle something real and serious.
Or really serious.
Or maybe not so serious at all.
Love.
In a sort of tipsy state last night at headquarters, the conversation inadvertently, inexplicably, as it always does, turned to the subject of relationships. It seems we at headquarters have people and the convoluted, complex workings and networkings of relationships of those specific people on the brain.

As I am not a sociologist of any means, nor do I care to deal with the Board of Ethics at this time in order to do 'real' testing on humans, I am only allowed to generally say that despite everything that humans say and do, they all exhibit that one need of love.

Would you care to argue?

I have seen that most people go to some strange lengths to ensure that slippery and oft times impure dedication of love. From this societal madness I think only two conclusions can be made:

1. More people should stand up for what they believe in for themselves like Meatloaf and don't do "that"
and
2. Since love simply is the greatest thing on Earth, people should stop tainting the waters.

Otherwise you will probably just end up left with your imaginary friends.

Wait, there's another one?

"It starts." ~ Timon

We've gone and done it again. We've signed ourselves up for another semester. Another semester of comping, unpredictable weather, and general good old shenanigans. But this isn't just any ordinary semester. This is the last one, and we're not leaving without a fight. Although, it will be tough to top a Weasley twins' exit.

We kicked off the semester with a Super Nerdy Tuesday night by watching The Two Towers (Extended Edition). The movie inspired us to design a LOTR based television network which would air shows with titles such as "Fishing With Gollum" and "Hair Tips By Legolas" (check local listings for show times).

One can only imagine the other random events that shall take place over the next four months.

With that, let the semester begin! Bring on the classes!

If there is no God, who pops up the next tissue in the box?

I think we can all agree, this question's answer could lead to many great theological questions.

See,

• First: There is a God. Then God pops up the next tissue in the box. Clean, simple, easy.
• Second: There is no God. Not only are we now left wondering who pops up the next tissue, but also all those great existentialist questions:
• Who invented the peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
• Who created the platypus?
• Who ate all the cookies?
• Who created life?

And it only gets harder after these few... I mean, think of all the thousands of years of prayer, history, law, custom, dance, music, television, and baking that were based off the assumption that there is a God... what are we left with???

Alabama and Resolutions

I think we can all agree that I would be a little late in making New Year's Resolutions, if in fact I was wont to do such a thing. Luckily, my internal motivational system does not fall prey to such mood swings. However, I would like to say that I hope my exercise habits will get better without injuring myself at all this year. Everyone can hope, even if its unlikely.

In other news, Alabama is lovely this time of year.
