Again, referring to a certain Mythbusters episode, the cola only removed most filth from the surface of the penny, leaving said penny usable and - as a result from the cola treatment - quite clean. Posts: 353 | Registered: Monday, January 9 2006 08:00 |

Ah, I see. Good, I can strike any future recitations of this particular "it has been said" from my repertoire. It is amazing how many of these old wives' tales and urban myths prove to be just that: tales and myths. Another is that we yawn to get more oxygen. No one actually know for sure why we yawn. -------------------- A4 Item Locations A4 Singleton G4 Items List G4 Forging List The Insidious Infiltrator Posts: 2009 | Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00 |

Given the circumstances under which yawning occurs, it may well be a social behaviour like laughter. Like laughter, yawning is more likely to occur in public than in private. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Well, bad root beer does taste like carbonated cough syrup. This is why when in a restaurant with inconspicuous and unlabeled "Root beer" available for purchase, I always ask what kind it is. I will never drink Mug because it's a POP and not a drink... Barq's is too carbonated and hurts my palate, and doesn't taste very good anyways. A&W is rather decent, once flattened a bit. Any other pop producer (Shasta, etc) is frowned upon by me, root beer-wise. And if it is of any other kind, I will try it. My favorites being Sprecker and 1919. But canoing is my life, and root beer is my beverage. -------------------- --Dachnaz Posts: 50 | Registered: Saturday, January 14 2006 08:00 |

I personally like Shasta... but I'm not really into root beer. I mean, Shasta's selling point seems to be the sheer variety of flavors... and they're all really good for such dirt cheap soda. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

W.V.O. Quine once observed that any single statement can be made true, as long as you change enough of the rest of your worldview to make it so. If one takes it as axiomatic that root beer is good, then one adapts one's definitions of "good" and of "root beer" to make the statement true under all circumstances. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

I take it as axiomatically true that one equals two. May I have a miter now? —Alorael, who would suggest that practical considerations limit the utility of axioms. Assuming root beer to be good under all circumstances is actually reasonably reasonable. (Yes, this was just an excuse to write reasonably reasonable.)

For crying out loud, I think the first post called that statement a lemma because it was a proven statement (without proof given) that was part of a greater proof that was not given. I can tell you, for instance, that the Product Rule was a lemma in Newton's Principium, but I don't have to give you the proof of the Product Rule or tell you the greater proof in which the Product Rule was used in order for the statement that the Product Rule was a lemma to be true. My bed has white sheets. Do I have to post a picture of my bed for you to believe that the previous statement is true? In other words, we were supposed to believe that it was a lemma because he said so, not because he demonstrated that it was. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

The lemma is not used to prove anything, and it is both tautological and quite possibly based on a false premise! I demand rigorous proof! —Alorael, who will continue ranting as he pleases.

Blue is my fav color, yet I can't imagine having everything on my room of the same color. Not even white. My quilt is white with pink; although, my mom just bought two red ones that are so darn pretty. *heads out to go beg for the quilt* Edit: YES I GOT IT [ Monday, February 20, 2006 13:11: Message edited by: Selima ] Posts: 1035 | Registered: Friday, April 1 2005 08:00 |

Descartes proved everything based on the axiom that he existed. This being Spiderweb General, I can prove the same on the axiom that root beer is good. By Alorael: quote:'1' is defined as the multiplicative inverse. By defining '2' as the same, you imply a * 2 = a. Now you need another symbol to represent 1 + 1.

That was a reference to Bertrand Russell, who claimed to be able to prove anything from any false premise. I may have this only roughly correct, but here's the version I've seen. He was given 2+2=5 and told to prove he was the pope. 2 + 2 = 5 4 = 5 1 = 2 The Pope and Bertrand Russell are two people, so the Pope and Bertrand Russell are one person, so they are the same person, so Bertrand Russell is the pope. —Alorael, who considers this firm evidence for the need to avoid false premises. One pope is enough. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

But that also means that I'm the pope as well. I don't know what color my bedsheets are. Probably something and white. I have a multicolored quilt, but I don't know if that counts. -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Nico, I'd have to say that I'm not blue, but I used to have blue hair if that counts for anything.
