This is like Taoism on drugs, and yet, oddly RIGHT

The Tao that can be told
is not the universal Tao.
The name that can be named
is not the universal name.

Is it possible that the act of explaining something fundamentally changes it's nature? Like when those dudes tried to monitor those electrons to see how they could possibly go through two slits at once but as soon as they started monitoring them they only went through one slit. . . I forget their names, but I'm sure SOMEONE knows what I'm talking about.

As it is said, there are two types of people, those who get it and those who don't.  I don't think Erisianism can be explained to those who don't get it, simply because the only ones who can explain Erisianism are those who understand it, and they won't, because they can't.  Because it can't be seperated from the jokes about it, because the jokes are the explanation! But then again, what can be explained, has been, twenty-seven centuries before that which can't be explained arose.

Then again, you have to appreciate a philosophy/religion where confusing people is a form of worship and laughter is prayer.  I did my part for the cause, this morning I returned "good morning" with "grasshopper always wrong in argument with chicken".  Felt good.  Felt great.  Then I watched Alice in Wonderland and celebrated the confusion.

Yo, I think I'm crazy. Anyone want to celebrate?

The double slit experiment is basic in the understanding of quantum mechanics, and proves the existance of parallel universes.  Not only has it been proved in spacial relation, but also in temporal.

Note to filmmakers of the future: bad dialog leads to anger, bad directing leads to hatred, shallow action sequences lead to suffering. Farming out a movie to a corporation of computer animators is a path to the dark side of filmmaking.

the truth that is to be told is only the truth for onself. if a truth is universal or can be understood by several people, it isn't the truth, merely truth. if the case is of truth.

Which kills you faster, smoking or getting hit by a bus?

depends on what you're smoking and how fast the bus is going.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Could how fast the bus is going depend on what you're smoking.

Could how fast you're smoking depend on where the bus is going?

Sounds like wonka-talk.

I take credit for that post, I do I do I do.  Unless it offends anyone, in which case I do only if I do not like said someone. Which is unlikely in any case.

Heard of it. I've got a book called Schrodinger's Rabbits over there, but I haven't read it either.
And I agree that we should celebrate. We should always.
"we are building a religion
we are making a brand
we're the only ones to turn to when your castles turn to sand
take a bite of this apple
mister corporate events
take a walk through the jungle
of cardboard shanties and tents
some people drink pepsi
some people drink coke
the wacky morning dj says democracy's a joke
he says now do you believe in the one big song
he is now accepting callers who would like to sing along"


I AM A COMPLETE AND UTTER FUCKING IDIOT!

The clouds above us join and seperate,
The breeze in the courtyard leaves and returns.
Life is like that, so why not relax?
Who can stop us from celebrating?

Or alternately. . .

There's a hurricane a brewin'
And the wind won't stop a stewin'
Life is like a dance hall
And I've got the party balloons
But HEY! WHO THE HELL TOOK MY CONFETTI?
Bullshit makes the flowers grow.

Stop explaining Things.  They like their Nature the way it is.

I don't care. The term wasn't invented by me...not that I know of.  *checks mind for other personalities*
