I'll have to stick up a cute video of the kids or something.<BR/><BR/>One of the things about this post is that I can, with great ease, argue for either of these statements. It's all in the definitions and narratives.<BR/><BR/>I'm afraid it's not a puzzle, like the sphynx's riddle.<BR/><BR/>In fact, at the point I first realised the truth of both of these statements, it was more a deep cry from the heart at the senselessness of the universe.<BR/><BR/>But it can also be used in one of those Buddhist-style meditation things, if you are so inclinedKim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-30047358131629254672007-07-22T03:36:00.000+01:002007-07-22T03:36:00.000+01:00A) Everything is true, for a given meaning of trut...A) Everything is true, for a given meaning of truth<BR/><BR/>A) Nothing is true, for a given meaning of truth<BR/><BR/><BR/>Take your pick.<BR/><BR/>I'll pick (A)BStronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795381642029132764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-64389597879348384582007-07-22T00:29:00.000+01:002007-07-22T00:29:00.000+01:00Both!

And I give up! I'm too superficial to understand!<BR/><BR/>Part of me wants to blame this on my shoulder, which has been so bad that I finally had to give in and have a steroid injection. I would like to think that that's temporarily eaten up some of my smarts. But no -- I probably couldn't have gotten this even if I'd had plenty of sleep and no injection.<BR/><BR/>Enlighten me and put me out of my misery.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-68413754741970110042007-07-20T19:30:00.000+01:002007-07-20T19:30:00.000+01:00Everything is false, for a given meaning of falseN...Everything is false, for a given meaning of false<BR/><BR/>Nothing is false, for a given meaning of false<BR/><BR/>I suppose we must understand the meaning.BStronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795381642029132764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-14032486704807487032007-07-20T18:42:00.000+01:002007-07-20T18:42:00.000+01:00Is it just as important to know that wherever you ...Is it just as important to know that wherever you go, there you are?Brave Astronauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893671129001583065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-19350334810285451582007-07-20T18:17:00.000+01:002007-07-20T18:17:00.000+01:00I am nowhere near smart enough to attempt to figur...I am nowhere near smart enough to attempt to figure that one out.
