So, Descartes is sitting in a bar, drinking a beer.

The bartender notices Descartes has finished his beer, so comes over and asks him if he wants a refill.

Descartes says: "I think not." And *poof* he disappears. :biggrin:

Today's Wisdom:

Sometimes, if it looks like sun, it might actually rain. But only if you live in Washington.

DC or State? ;) Because it looked okay here yesterday until the skies opened up. (At least the humidity is lower today...)

Heh, that reminds me of the wisdom about Welsh weather: if you can't see the hills, it's raining; if you can see the hills, it's about to rain.

HA Too true. Although it's like that in Texas as well (at least in Houston). The thing I loved about Louisiana is when you walked outside and your sunglasses fogged up immediately.

You know nothing. In fact, you know less than nothing. If you knew that you knew nothing, then that would be something, but you don't even know that.

I take a bottle of wine and I go drink it among the flowers.
We are allways three ... counting my shadow and my friend the shimmering moon
Happily the moon knows nothing of drinking, and my shadow is never thirsty
When I sing, the moon listens to me in silence. When I dance, my shadow dances too.
After all festivities the guests must depart. This sadness I do not know.
When I go home, the moon goes with me and my shadow follows me ~ J.C. Cooper

(as recited on Vangelis' album, China)
