Goodie Grab Bag III
(in a debate between two candidates) Candidate #1: … and that is my plan. Any questions? Reporter: Yes, aren’t you a douche? Candidate: No, I am not. Reporter: Let me rephrase that, Is it not true that you are a…
Who the Hell is Pixel Q.???
Everywhere I go, I inspire people to wonder “Just who the hell is he?” or “Who the hell does he think he is??” I blame the middle initial. If I were Pixel A., nobody would take me seriously. “Pixel A.?…
Gabe wins
Gabe: You win the humor columnist competition (the other guy chickened out at the mere mention of competition). You get to write a humor colum for every Thursday issue of the paper. If you can have each one sent to…
Let’s make a dead philosopher cry
While doing research (clicking links) for my previous post, I ran across several pictures of René Descartes and laughed my ass off. I know, I know, I’m not one to talk, but still. In any case, since nothing I write…
I think, therefore I
So it turns out that of all the things René Descartes came up with (Cartesian geometry, dualism, several whopping good recipes), his most basic principle is also the most hotly contested. Cogito, ergo sum. which, roughly translated, is: I think,…
Submissions for Non-Paying Publications
Dear Editor-lady, Gabe the Deontological Beaver here with my jam-packed submission for your peanut butter-packed newspaper. Do with it what you will, though hopefully you will print it. Also, I assume you shall contact me if I do end up…
Suddenly Ayn Rand makes much more sense
I’m having a thought and it goes a little something like this: Good vision was once a genetically selectable trait. In other words, if you had bad vision, you died or had a greater chance of dying. People that had…
I’m having a hopping good time
Proof that I am truly in Australia is below the fold..
Numbering comes in quite handy
It turns out Roommate #4 objects to her name. Ha ha. It’s funny, really, because she’s the reason I started numbering them. She would never be around and I would be like, “hey, where’s the fourth roommate?” But she doesn’t…
Uni: The Game
As a Level Six Philosopher in a Level Ten Philosophy class (Immanuel Kant was a real pissant..) I realized how much like a Role Playing Game my life was. So much so, in fact, that I decided to make an…
I have vision, it’s just blurry behind the lens
I added Roommates # 1 and 3’s sites to the permanent link list (at the right) in case you’d like some outside opinions of what a jerk I am (eh… I just give back what people put in. You’ll note…
Right is Relative to Left
Okay, North Americans drive on the right side of the road, right?I use right in the sense that it’s not left. But here they drive on the left-hand side of the road. So if they don’t drive on the right…
I’m Afraid of Americans
I hate Americans. I never realized how annoying they were until I left the country, but Americans are really annoying and chock full of themselves. Take a look of what an actual American has said, read it out loud if…
Oh, and I met a Communist
It turns out that I have a talent at picking universities. At the last one, I arrived on exchange just as the president resigned without warning and the teachers threatened to strike. This time, I’m in a Uni that hasn’t…
The Keys to my Heart
Okay, thanks to a good friend of mine, I got the idea for a new meme. It’s pretty self-explanatory. “Have you ever noticed how someone’s set of keys is like a summary of themselves? Here are small pieces of property…
The “Intelligent Design” argument was designed quite stupidly
So it turns out that the ‘function argument’ dates back to Aristotle. Let’s give a quick overview of the function argument for those of you not lucky enough to be philosophy, history, or religious studies students: A chair has a…
