Does anyone remember a movie about a guy who believed he was an alien...
When they asked him how could account for the fact that he was identical to earthly humans, inside and out,
He explained that some themes are constantly repeated in nature because they work, just like soap bubbles are always round...
What was the name of that movie?


As long as this other world has dairy products...
And watermelon...
I'll go, but I must be fed.

(Can you imagine a life without cheese? Or ice cream? Or butter...)

The chicken or the egg?

The standard answer would be that the egg came first, and that it came from something that was not quite a chicken.
Unless you're religious, in which case you would say that the chicken came first, "Because God ain't gonna sit on no egg."

Q - again,
What is Beethovens favorite fruit?

If a man speaks his mind in the forest and his wife doesn't hear him, is he still wrong?

Why- Psy, of course he is! The animals and trees all know it and are rolling their proverbial eyes. XD

If time is distance (think of the stars we see, some of which, for instance, are "already" extinguished, or the stars we don't see, some of which have been "already" born" then what is the past? The present? The future?

Why would anyone say time is distance?

Okay, okay, technically time is proportional to distance- it's physics. Einstien's theory os special relativity.
speed of light in a vaccuum = space / time, where the speed of light is a constant.

Oh, I've heard of that... it's something like; Most stars are billions of lightyears away, and the light they give off can only travel at the speed of light, which in this case means that the stars could go out long before their light reaches Earth.
