Three words, surely?
What are you talking about? This is too senseless for senseless.
isn't this an analogy used to illustrate that you can't disprove the existence of something?
Isn't it connected to the spagetti monster and invisible pink unicorn?Quote:

It's Betrand Russell's orbiting teapot, I presume. Which inspired things like the FSM, yeah.
...damn, I'm sharp. :)
It's a very famous philisophical analogy.
I don't think it's "too senseless for senseless". That's just ignorant.
It's the one where he said that if there was a teapot orbiting the earth that was so small that our telescopes couldn't see it, nobody could disprove or prove that it was there and you would just have to believe. Something like that. Analogy to God.
Little orbiting teapots seem more believable than religions though. :P I bet nobody would believe in the teapot.
It's certainly more logical- if you weigh up the leaps of faith in a teapot vs christianity.Quote:

If you giggle at the thought of the orbiting teapot, soon you will be mocking FSM and pink unicorns. Stop the blasphemy now, before it is too late.
Moonbeam's right, all this blasphemy will cause our rivers to flood with tea and spaghetti and unicorn crap to ruin our crops!!!
You know, the teapot might not be orbiting Earth....it could be orbiting Uranus. :holyshit:
The three plagues.:shock: Predicted by NeAvO.Quote:

Well maybe if the OP had been a little clearer about wanting to discuss this orbiting teapot, this philosophical analogy....oh wait a minute...that's not what he posted. Let's see, what did he say again?Quote:

The lady has a point.
You go girl.
It actually had nothing to do with anything, it just turned into this conversation after someone mentioned it's reference.
yeah, sorry about thatQuote:

That's quite some insight into Nina's mind there. :?
Possibly too much.

When I was reading Nina's posts (gibberish) I was thinking of that old Sat. Nite Live skit (hillarious) where the guy is always interjecting his real thoughts (split-personality) under his breath.

Can I be the first member of the Aquanina Fan Club? Or do you not like guys kissing your.............boots?
I immediately thought of the whole spaghetti monster thing as well, but that's only because I've been in a pissy mood about the whole situation these past few days! I want to start an army. Although I don't want to fight with swords because that's really dangerous. I need to build upon my abilities as a mage, or knight elf. Who wants to help me level up?
You can.Quote:

This reminds me, I've been meaning to get a servant boy. Perhaps I'll start taking applications.
But nothing is more effective than a pissy girl with a sword...Quote:
