Subject: RE: BS: The end of time?
Did any Mediaeval theologians actually discuss how many angels could dance (or otherwise accommodate themselves) on a pinhead? Even if they didn't, I've often thought that such a question has about as much relevance to anything useful as this kind of speculation by all sorts of astronomers, physicists, and the like, but it keeps them in research grants just as these mediaeval boys were kept in good boiled capons while the peasantry struggled to survive.
