A particular word seems perfect for the occasion. Do ya see it? There are roughly 1,000,000 words in the English language. Random guessing means a probability of a hit's 1 in a million. Try sumthin else, and before I forget, bonam fortunam.

Re: The principle of explosion diverges from correct reasoning
Kindly review yer argument ... I sense an illegal move! Not unexpected of course, given the territory ... hic sunt leones/dracones . By the way, true that contradictions aren't logical errors as is obvious from the principle of explosion. What are they then? Again, mon ami, hic sunt dracones/leones ...

Re: Reincarnation
What's the difference between Apple and Windows? I'm sure there's a funny answer to that question, but the funnier it gets the weirder it gets ... at least fer me.

Re: Philosophy undermines truth

That key is Russian national interest. I cannot forecast to you the action of life. It is a confusion, wrapped in a delusion, inside a...

Re: The Essence of Life is One
That's a tough one! It's a good question though! All I can say is we all seem ta be worried to bits about something, something that once swallowed a goat, blinded a bat, and crippled an elephant, the sequence is left ta ya ta finish.
