‘Let no one who is not eager for truth and peace enter here’ (Plato)

Articles on this site express varying points of view, to encourage mature thinking on serious issues. The assumption is that you will want to study a controversial topic from various angles before you arrive at a conclusion, rather than simply believe what someone told you when you were impressionable!

Mmmmmmmmmmm

These are questions that only George Carlin could think to ask: 1. If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented? 2. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren’t people from Holland called Holes? 3. Why do we say something is out of whack? What’s a […]

Stupid

Reporter: “The NATO strikes have been aborted due to bad weather?” Vice Admiral Scott Fry: “I’m afraid I can’t get into that level of detail right off the top of my head.” Reporter: “How about an approximation?” Admiral Fry: “I’d prefer not to even approximate it.” Reporter: “How about a ballpark figure?” Admiral Fry: “I […]

City Hall

Some years ago Bishop Fulton Sheen was scheduled to speak at the Town Hall in an unfamiliar city. He decided to take a walk and, on the way, got lost. He saw some boys, so asked them the way to City Hall. “What are you going to do there?” asked one of the boys. “I’m […]

Why Ask Why?

WHY ASK WHY? Why isn’t phonetic spelled the way it sounds? Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii? Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes? Do you need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mime? Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations? How does the […]

Gentle Ways To Create An Intellectual Climate In Your Classroom

Wear a hood with one eye hole. Periodically make strange gurgling noises. After confirming everyone’s names on the roll, thank the class for attending “Advanced Astrodynamics 690” and mention that yesterday was the last day to drop. After turning on the overhead projector, clutch your chest and scream “MY PACEMAKER!” Wear a pointed Kaiser helmet […]
