The lack of a rational explanation is not evidence for an irrational explanation. |

What?
|
What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell |

| What seems appropriate. Did you have a point that you would like to make. That is other than identifying where your SFN name came from. |

Sorry pal. This is the 'Humor' forum.
When I have a point to make about Al Gore, I'll make it in the 'Big Deal Take Ourselves Seriously' forum.

| Sorry, its just not funny. Now if you had put a little recycle symbol in the corner of the book, that would be funny. |
"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |
