The Philosophy of Logic is the best philosophy
One simple bit of logic, makes college life sublime
Now instead of study, we have leisure time.

Because ..
The more you study, the more you know,
The more you know, the more you forget,
The more you forget, the less you know,
So Why Study?

The less you study, the less you know,
The less you know, the less you forget,
The less you forget, the more you know,
So Why ..., why, why study?


For computing the more you compute
the more data you have to become searchable
the more you search the less you have time to compute
So why compute


In the original lyric Bill D found 2 lines that were internally illogical

There is a computer programmed by, I think, the Chirpsithra (who get drunk on electric shocks), to acquire all knowledge, but when it does instead of telling them it just shut down. Why keep working if you ken all...

Then there is Baum, a smart alec AI smart bomb that decided to arm itself and countdown to the dismay of a spaceship crew in the movie Dark Star.
The debate with Baum, programed by humans, is a cult classic.
Baum could kick Norman's ass.

Norman is an android whose head exploded, kind of, because of human logic. One of the best old Trek episodes.

Glad to hear it Andreas :-) We have moved from Salford now to the edge of the Yorkshire Dales and the Tour de Yorkshire passes our front door sometimes so we now see a lot of cycling. If you ever pass this way pop in. You will be more than welcome.

I am offended by this thread because - although its intention is to offend me - it does not offend me!

Thus, this thread at the same time offends me and does not offend me / it should vanish in a cloud of logic ...

At the risk of being wierdly smeared, sued and screwed, the lewd orange dude is also known as 'He who shall be obeyed'.

Thou shalt not insult him with facts.
Thou shalt not insult him with truth.
Thou shalt not offend him with reason
Thou shalt not tender history but his own
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's truth
Thou shalt not take any dictator before me
Thou shalt not honor anyone but my children
Thou shalt not covet any golden towers but mine
Thou shalt not golf at any golf courses but mine
Thou shalt see that everything is mine, this land is my land

How shall we not insult you master? Shall we not mention your immature stupidity? Your vengence when bribes are not paid?
Your actions when called before justice? Oh how shall we ignore your short comings as a human being, oh great Master?

There just isn't enough people taking offense nowadays.

I'm sure someone could take offense at that if they try hard enough. Go on. You know you want to :-)

Its good that you guys have been through enough crap that unimportant egos have no need to take offensiveness personally.
Its an important measure of wisdom, unless preachy crap like this is offensive enough to gag a goat.

2 TIMES 3 or you could MULTIPLY 2 and 3. Now (on Countdown) they TIMES them - no, no, no.

You have me a very fond memory, Mr Red. My first job was in the front office for a local council maintenance department. An old chap once came in to complain that a workman had taken his gate. I said I had best not mention it or he may...

Yes, you guessed it :-)

Took him a few seconds but when he twigged it made his day.

A man or woman is more noble than a scruffy house, more important than a fear and disdain of opticians and dentists, more valued than the resources they wield, more sacred than the way they are treated by their government and more genius than their sometimes warped sense of priorities.

In the spirit of offensiveness, I love you guys NOW FUCK OFF.
