08 Aug 02 - 06:51 AM (#761793) Subject: RE: BS: A Short Joke From: Stephen L. Rich I'm glad everybody liked it. Thanks. Katlaughing -- the elephant is the title character in a comicstrip called "Snoot" (it seemed like a good name for an elephant at the time). It's about a fellow named Sam Spindler who is a completely normal human being except for the fact that he shares a two bedroom apartment with an elephant, a pair of identical twin, midget, circus clowns, and a retired human cannonball. As for Snoot's politics -- well you just gave me an idea for another strip! |

08 Aug 02 - 08:06 PM (#762206) Subject: RE: BS: A Short Joke From: Murray MacLeod I find myself deeply troubled by the validity of the de-facto assumption, implicit in the construction of this joke, that existentialists actually do have problems committing suicide successfully. Is this an empirically proven fact? Murray |
|
08 Aug 02 - 08:19 PM (#762213) Subject: RE: BS: A Short Joke From: Bill D existentialists qua existentialists have problems deciding whether suicide is worth bothering with....but they have no need to 'prove' anything....only observers of the phenomenon care, and since existentialists so seldom get around to it, there is VERY little data....thus empirical proof is statistically useless......I think...(therefore I am)...unless....hmmmmmm..... |

08 Aug 02 - 09:09 PM (#762234) Subject: RE: BS: A Short Joke From: Stephen L. Rich Let us not forget Jean Paul Sartre's epitath: "Here lies an existentialist; all dressed up and nowhere to go." |

08 Aug 02 - 09:27 PM (#762240) Subject: RE: BS: A Short Joke From: Murray MacLeod I have to say that I prefer Descartes to Jean Paul Sartre any day of the week. For starters, the Monty Python team never dared to mock Rene Descartes ( "Hello Mrs Cut-out!" "Hello Mrs Rene Descartes" ?????) Nawwww... Secondly, Jean-Paul never invented Cartesian geometry, or even Sartrian geometry, so where's that at, huh ? Thirdly, Descartes had the coolest hair style, kind of cross between Isaac Newton and Dr Johnson. Sartre ? You'd think they'd never invented conditioner. Call me old fashioned, but "Cogito ergo Sum" still RULES !! (as the late lamented Mbo might have said ... ) Murray |

09 Aug 02 - 07:39 AM (#762505) Subject: RE: BS: A Short Joke From: Murray MacLeod Of course, the Philosopher's Song. How could I have forgotten. As a penance, here are the lyrics.

09 Aug 02 - 09:07 PM (#762835) Subject: RE: BS: A Short Joke From: Bill D When I was in college..(about 1968) the audio-visual center of the school sent out it's monthly bulletin, noting that the movie featured one week would be "Plato's Republic"...we, the graduate students in Philosophy did not bother to GO, but instead thought up silly jokes about it....and soon, there appeared on the bulletin board, a handwritten addendum to the notice. "Next month, the featured movie will be Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, starring Julie Newmar as the sensible manifold" |
