11. Old Monty Python live skit.
It's the University of Australia Philosophy department (all of whom are named Bruce), singing a hilarious drinking song about Philosophers.

I believe it was on Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Ball.

I'll try to find it for you.

12. Here are the lyrics:
Edited on Mon May-21-07 11:33 PM by Common Sense Party
The Philosopher's Song (Monty Python)

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya'
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
SOCRATES, HIMSELF, WAS PERMANENTLY PISSED...

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it all the way;
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart: "I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!

7. Stop practicing transcendalist idealism with me!
Who is to say that Kant is the only means to an end. Huh? HUH? :wtf:
