Is Dan Hill really the greatest vocalist in the history of the universe or are all of you motherfuckers just crazy?

1. The following statement is true.
2. The preceeding statement is false.

Is statement 1 true or false?

...and if anyone feels that they "have" to incorrectly respond to this question with an incorrect answer which is a certain number which happens to be 6 times 9, I will be highly unimpressed.

There's always some smartass who fails to be funny whenever this question is asked.

I always knew that there was something wrong with the universe.

jerseyboy · 10-22-2003, 04:00 PM

This is a good question to ask a vegetarian. Would you eat a piece of chicken if I threatened to kill another chicken if you didnt?

Badly phrased (for the sake of a joke), but hardly unanswerable.

Omnipotence could be defined as "power without limit", which would suggest that any rock that can be made, can be moved by the omnipotent.

More importantly, what does Blue taste like?

Dilbert1234567 · 10-24-2003, 12:00 AM

then god is not all powerful if he can not create a rock so heavy that even he can not lift

Is no the answer to this question?

BubblegumTeflon · 10-29-2003, 09:25 PM

Yeah I would say got is a pretty unanswerable question.

There is an answer...now whether the answer is correct or not is the real question.

Mental illness. An organism can have a brain incapable of abstract thought, but can still go haywire (unless you're not equating neurological illness to a mental illness (ie "mental" in the sense of the "mind" as an abstract-thinking-thing)).

In either case, take a peek at Julian Jaynes' "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind," which contends that auditory hallucinations (which would be considered a "mental illness" today, but was supposedly a function of evolutionary advantages sprung from language, negating it's classification as an "illness") preceded and subsequently spawned consciousness. Heavy shit.

But in all cases, your question seems to be very answerable :P

Lasereth · 11-03-2003, 06:01 AM

Are they really questions if they don't have an answer?
