Facts cannot be considered facts in this material plane.  We, as humans, are prone to imperfections, so our 'facts' cannot be taken as facts, but as mere theories we have yet to disprove.

That why I'm a solipsist and therefore believe nothing beyond what my own senses are currently telling me and even they seem kind of shady to me.

Agreed. 

 

*takes out pipe and puffs out a plume of smoke*

 

You see, we, as humans, are flawed.  Therefore our logic is flawed.  What we perceive to be truths, may, in fact, be falsehoods.  We simply do not have the ability to understand many matters of concern within the universe.  For example, our maths.  We believe 2 + 2 = 4,and take it as fact.  But these are figures we have created.  What if, indeed, 2 + 2 = Strawberry Pogo Stick?  But we take these figures as fact, as we understand them.  But our ability to understand is limited in this mortal existence, and therefore, cannot be absolute.

 

*replaces pipe in his mouth*

You're smoking goldfish crackers, I hope you realise that.

I'm glad you have pointed that out, for that just further adds to my lecture.

*Toy's next puff blasts cheese dust all over his face*

*licks it all up*

Ah ha! *grabs Toy's tongue and uses it to tie him to the hitching post next to the horses*

*cuts off his tongue with a pair of carebears.

*picks it up with tongs and hurls it into The Soup*

*watches it lick the sides of the container*

The Soup is all-knowing, all-seeing, all-devouring.

When exactly will it be ready?

How long til Ragnarok?

*check watch*

 

Ten minutes.

Oh good, and me without a camera to record the sun being eaten by a wolf.

Fenrir, when will you learn?  ::)

Is it Fenrir or Fenris? I've seen it spelled both ways.

Both and neither.  Like broccoli.

Broccoli. Like loki's hair. which brings us right back to Norse mytholology.

 

Life is apparently cyclical.

so, what do YOU think about aMoL?

I think it makes a decent acronym.

I'm actually serious this time.  Do you know what is even going on with it?

I saw the press release up there. It doesn't thrill me. What bugs me most is that they're just going to re-release it as one complete book afterwards, which would be the one I'd want. Kind of like how I ignored the theatrical release versions of the LotR dvds to wait for the extended editions. If it weren't for that, I might not mind as much. What I didn't see, and it may have been just due to skimming it, was a confirmation or denial about whether these thirds will be in hardcover or not, as i had seen that they might be paperback only. Unacceptable! I don't buy paperback anymore.

I buy paperback on very rare occasions.  And I mean very rare.  Like, if the book only comes in paperback kind of rare.  I agree, they should be hardback.  Heck, I'd get them and then get the special edition, too.  I'm a sucker like that.
