The Philosophers Song
The verse I learned was, "Great Empedocles, to prove his soul, jumped into Aetna and was roasted whole."
And apropos of the barber paradox, seems to me that after all that heavy discussion, we could make very profitable use of Occam's razor

Re: The perils of wrong thinking
Thanks for the reference, tsuwm. There were several versions of this song sung by MP on tour. This doesn't mean that I'm saying my quote was correct, though. The best one was at a concert in LA. Idle was clearly right off his face on something very, very nice, because he went right through the show with a stupid smile on his face.
Thanks for that thread change there Mav. It was getting so long to load and it invariably caused my comp. to freeze up.
OP ... tho' in the perverse manner of this board, maybe another thread will anyhow take over the 'stream of consciousness' role anyway
Maverick marvelled: ... tho' in the perverse manner of this board, maybe another thread will anyhow take over the 'stream of consciousness' role anyway
... or the "rivulet of ribaldry" or the "creek of craziness" or the "river of rubbishness" or the "oxbow of oxymorons" or the "meander of maundering" ...
The idiot also known as Capfka ...
Or the brook of babble, the spring of serendipity, the fountain of frivolity, the raindrop of roses ?
are our streams stygian? what can we do about our redundantly riparian river-rats?
...and about those biker fish from hell; are they anadromous or catadromous?
oxbow of oxymorons
Of course we all know that oxymoron is itself an oxymoron.
Faldage flustered: Of course we all know that oxymoron is itself an oxymoron.
Most of us don't analyse stream of consciousness stuff unless we're practising psychologists. I'm not one - are you?

OP practising psychologists
Practising? I'm a bloody expert, mate
Quoth Capital Kiwi: Most of us don't analyse stream of consciousness stuff unless we're practising psychologists.
No shrink I, I'm a card carrying Fool
