    @UT. Every action has a reaction...or should I say every action has a consequence. What is put forth shall be received, in terms of energy exchange. It is Natural Law....working in mysterious ways.

    Why didn't you just read Nietzsche?



    The main reason not to read Nietzsche is that he was a pompous old windbag (as is seen, for example, in the passage Urban Tribesman quotes).

    Anyway, what about the unnatural(?) longevity of my iPod batteries?  Someone else on here must have an iPod.  Do the batteries usually fail in eighteen months?  Or do they last four and a half years or more?

    I've had an iPod since 2008. It's been used exclusively in my car (and so was charged by that)... until I changed to a car - in March - which has a built-in player. It still seems to work but I have no use for it now.

    That's interesting, Elliot.  Maybe the key thing is not continuing to connect the iPod to iTunes.

    I did Psychology once and it was awfully dry, but fascinating at the same time.
    What is philosophy? Bertrand Russell once coined it as 'the no-man's land between science and theology, exposed to attack from both sides'. I prefer the way it is dealt with in the Philosopher's song by Monty Python:

    Immanuel Kant was a real piss ant, he was very rarely stable
    Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar, he could think you under the table
    David Hume could out-consume
    Schopenhauer and Hegel,
    And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
    Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

    There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya'
    'Bout the raising of the wrist
    Socrates him self was permanently pissed...

    John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, on half a pint of shandy was particularly ill
    Plato, they say, could stick it away, half a crate of whiskey every day
    Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
    Hobbes was fond of his dram
    And Rene Descartes was a shrunken fart
    'I think, therefore, I am.

    Yes Socrates himself is particularly missed..
    A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed,

    Funnily enough, my degree was in philosophy.

    A great book on the subject is 'Pooh and the Philosophers' by John Tyerman Williams. The whole of Western philosophy - from the cosmologists of Ancient Greece to existentialism in this century - discovered in Winnie - the -Pooh and The House on Pooh Corner.

    If you're referring to "Victoria's" Secret....then yes, you are correct. Now everybody shut the hell up, so I can draw them to me. *intently focusing*..............did someone say the "Angel" collection?! ....I thought so....

    Victoria's Secret? That store smells funny.
    If I were dead, could I do this?

    1.) I wasn't talking about the store..it was more about Adriana Lima.
    2.) More importantly, what the hell are you doing inside of Victoria's Secret?!

    I have no specific information on the matter, but I think it very likely that Queen Victoria would have gone to Bath to take the waters.  Spas (Bath, Leamington, Harrogate etc.) were very popular in Victorian times.  David Baxter (not sure of his user name on here) might know more -- he lives in Harrogate.
