2. If you say something to a freeper,
did you really say anything?

16. Yes,
but the true question is:
"If you plan say anything to a freeper,
don't you have better things to do with your time?"

4. To be or not to be....
that IS the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them. To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: aye, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action.

21. It's not that I don't like him (I don't)
but I don't see why I have to memorize his soliloquies. My teacher told me that it'd make me a well rounded person. :eyes: But I don't see people randomly quoting Shakespeare to me on the street.

5. Descartes was in a bar
The bartender asks "would you like another drink?"

Descartes answers "I think not" and vanishes into thin air.

15. You're a Schrödinger person
Until I observe you directly, you both exist and don't.

22. LMAO
I love Schroedinger stuff... and along those sorts of messed-up hypotheticals-

If you're giving a presentation on Murphy's Law (anything that can go wrong, will) and nothing goes wrong, have you proven, or disproven, the theory? ;)

20. The chair you are sitting on doesn't, but
you do. Which means that you are floating.
