Philosophy

[Alan]

So...Descartes...is sitting in a bar...having a drink...Bartender asks him if he would like another, and Descartes says "I think not", and vanishes.

Made me smile

edit: Stolen from one of the other forums I read... ohh and it had to be explained to me also

 

[Vladamir]

[Jeremiah]

Woo, I got it!

 

[Overdriven]

Descarte was a philosopher ^_^


Hehe, made me smile.

Descartes rocks

Dont' think about it too hard though, or your brain will implode in a shower of existential uncertainty

 

[Neffneff]

[Krait]

Nice

I never knew he said it though,always thought it was some ancient greek.

Descartes walks into a bar, and tells the bartender, "I'm excited about the live entertainment tonight!" The bartender says, "Yeah, the trick pony is pretty cool." "The trick pony! I thought it was Karaoke Night! I was looking forward to it so much." "Well," says the bartender, "we can do that, too." So they got out their schedule and put Descartes before the horse.

Descartes walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Are you having a beer?" Descartes says, "I think not," and ceases to exist.

Descartes walks into a bar, then goes out the back, circles around, and comes back in. He does this several more times, and finally the bartender says, "You're going in circles!" And Descartes says, "Thank God!"

Descartes walks into a bar. Then he says, "Ouch!" You would, too, if you walked into a bar.

Haha, I actually understood that one! Seems the ex.phil subject that I've been sleeping my way through has not been in vain after all!

 

[Steffan-]

Hehe

Ah reminds me the good old ones....

If a trees falls over in a forest, and there's no-one there to hear it, does it make any noise?

and my all-time favourite....

How does the man that drives the snowplough get to his work in the morning?

That last one from the worlds currently greatest Philosopher, Billy Connnolly.

I thank you.

 

[Bahumat]

[Takhasis]

Descartes.....famous quote.....I Think Therefore I Am.

I think not, <blink>

Bentham walks into a bar and has a look around and observes everything.

Gramsci walks into a bar and orders a pint.
The Barman pours a beer and asks for payment.
Gramsci gives the barman a handful of privit leaves and brambles.
The barman scowls at Gramsci and says
"Take your hedge money and get out of here."

I don't get it.. Therefor Descartes sucks!

Even Vlad got it(or said he did) and I didn't! Am I doomed?

i won 50 quid with that once
gotta love stupid people

 

[psyco]

lol once i new what a descartes were i got it...

basicly he walks in, sits bartender asks him what hi poisen, he responds with 'i think not'
a famous philo quote is 'i think therefore i am'
so if he doesn't think then he isn't 'am' ie present
and dissapears not really funny, but sorts out the thick and not so thick
