peeeel Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Wtf even is that Short answer...(Long answer would take an essay to explain and I CBA) Some philosophers believe that Zeno's paradoxes are just mathematical problems, and can be solved by modern day calculus, however others believe that they are metaphysical problems. I wouldn't bother with learning about paradoxes unless you fancy university level philosophy because its a pain in the arse. Edit: To add example... If there are many, they must be as many as they are and neither more nor less than that. But if they are as many as they are, they would be limited. If there are many, things that are are unlimited. For there are always others between the things that are, and again others between those, and so the things that are are unlimited.

Bert Raccoon Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 So anyone taking bets on No1? It's between three for me, Supras, Standfree and Vikington. I would say Supras is the only deserving winner from those three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Still not had his dick wet type post IMO. I actually feel a wee bit sorry for you Pumping your sister in a Lochee bus shelter isn't the mark of success, outside Dundee at least. Swing and a miss.

Big Gus Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 VT's record of nights out in Dundee aren't the strongest. I can't remember too much about it but he wore a jaunty scarf, never made the Reading Rooms and was up the road for midnight looking a bit green around the gills. "Had his drink spiked", seemingly.
