Probing the dark crannies of the human condition eh. It's a lemon entry my dear Watson.
(Bloody hell, the rag day humour really is to the fore this afternoon)

Never worry about what you didn't do yesterday because you can
always try do it today, which tomorrow will be yesterday so you can
try again to do what you should have done yesterday in the future.....

Sorry Jimmy, Guv'nor, touch forelock, cringe and fawn meaningfully.
Discussions on how Soren Kierkegaard's religious upbringing influenced his sphere of thought in existentialist circles are far too mundane for this thread.
And trying to wade through Hume's Treatise always leads to the drinks cabinet for a long session followed by endless hours of mindless bumblings.
Trebles all round then!

It is not possible to tickle yourself. The cerebellum, a part of the brain, warns the rest of the brain that you are about to tickle yourself. Since your brain knows this, it ignores the resulting sensation
There you are an intellectual fact...although if i knew some one was going to tickle me could'nt i do the same ???

We seem to be veering onto a very dodgy path when talking about facts. Always remember that - the truth is more important than the facts - and that in 'civilised societies' there is no such thing as justice, just the law.
My double frontal lobotomies, being antipodean from the cerebellum, has removed all feeling, both sensory and metaphysical from my being. On the upside though, the trepanning of the area at the same time means I pay less for smaller bobble hats. Swings and roudabouts.

You might think that New Zealand has the most sheep per capita in the world, but here's a fact to turn alan and bosley green with envy.
While New Zealand only boasts 20 sheep per person, the lucky lads on the Falkland Isles, with over 700,000 sheep to 2,000 people get 350 each!

If you were to leave the earth on a ship going near the speed of light, time would go slower for you. Meanwhile, much more time would have passed on earth, and by the time you got back, perhaps everyone you knew when you left would be dead.
Q 1. According to the Theory of Relativity, wouldn't it be impossible to designate which was going fast, the earth or the ship? In that case wouldn't both people on the planet and those on the ship be able to claim they were the ones travelling fast and the other would be stationary?
Q 2. And, in a similar way, couldn't you assume the ship has stayed stationary and it was the earth that sped away at the speed of light and eventually came back to the ship?
Q 3. If you make it sorta kinda 50/50 and each leave the other a the speed of light, wouldn't these things cancel each other out and neither would age?
