I'm always here, but sometimes Code Project goes away...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

you all don't exist you are just brains floating in a jar fed life from a computer (and looking at some of the questions in Q&A I now know where all the old 286's ended up)
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

From an old Usenet quote:
"Some scientists say that the brain is like a computer. If that is true, then there are no stupid people; only a few running DOS"
I'm sure we could come up with a more contemporary version...
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

Reality - the font is too small. I can't read it.

I am a figment of my own imagination

How can you be sure, you might just be imagining that
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
|

I never thought of that!
Now I'm worried ... unless... perhaps I could imagine myself into a better job ... I'm going to work on that

LSD or magic mushrooms might help
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

My take on this is that reality is not a helpful term as it reifies what are essentially experiences or phenomena that are temporary and ever changing.
Perhaps a better explanation is that how I interpret my perception gives me a view of the world I live in.
On a more important point, I now have the munchies - can anyone recommend a good snack.
(I had better put down the pipe and get back to work)

A dream is the bit of your nightly defrag and re-compression of existing memory data that is run through your perception centres for one of several possible reasons (probably including some we haven't thought of, yet).
There's nothing mystical about dreaming; it's a data-storage function.

Almost made it on time! Raining like a very rainy thing here today...
Said, strangely, to be very quiet and soothing, yet ultimately a bit of a letdown (14)
Good luck!

An Engineer was unemployed for long time. He could not find a job so he opened a medical clinic and puts a sign up outside: "Get your treatment for $500, if not treated get back $1,000."
One Doctor thinks this is a good opportunity to earn $1,000 and goes to his clinic.
Doctor: "I have lost taste in my mouth."
Engineer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Doctor: "This is Gasoline!"
Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."
The Doctor gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days later to recover his money.
Doctor: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."
Engineer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Doctor: "But that is Gasoline!"
Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."
The Doctor leaves angrily and comes back after several more days. Doctor: "My eyesight has become weak."
Engineer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for this. Take this $1,000."
Doctor: "But this is $500..."
Engineer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."
The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is SILENCE, the second is LISTENING, the third MEMORY, the forth, PRACTICE and the fifth is TEACHING others!

The question I have is how do you cure engineers of Excel?

Two sharks swimming in the ocean come across a group of survivors of a sunken ship.
"Follow me son. Today I will show you the correct way to eat humans" the father shark said to the son shark and they swam to the group of people floating in the water.
"First we swim around them a few times with just the tip of our fins showing." And they did.
"Well done, son! Now we swim around them a few times with full fins showing." And they did.
“ Now, every few seconds we pop out of the water, open our mouths and let them see our teeth” And they did.
"Now we eat everybody." And they did.
When they had both gorged, the son asked, "Dad, why do all this? Why not just eat them?"
Said the wise papa shark,
"Because they taste better when there is no sh*t inside them!"
