Paradoxical Questions!

[Laszlo, The Professor]

This is fun!

[Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger]

Agreed.

[Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger]

What happens when the immovable object collides with the unstoppable force?

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Ah, I love that question! The laws of Physics are violated and a singularity opens up.

[Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger]

I always argue that the question is flawed. The immovable object is only immovable because objects are deflected around it, and that the unstoppable force is only unstoppable because it changes its path the avoid such collisions.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Maybe the immovable object is in certain universes causing sort of a doorstop making a rift between the universes causing all things coming at it to be thrown somewhere else.

WOOSH

[John]

That was the whole conversation going over my head.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

What does that mean?

[John]

Nevermind.
Do you think that whenever they asked George Washington for ID he just pulled out a quarter?

[Laszlo, The Professor]

They didn't have Identification back then, and if they did, no.

[John]

* bumps head against wall*

[Laszlo, The Professor]

What is wrong?

[John]

If corn oil comes from corn, were does baby oil come from?

[John]

Laszlo wrote: "What is wrong?"

These questions aren't supposed to have logical answers.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Not babies, but from different ingredients. I can read the ingredients list for baby oil and post ingredients, if you would like.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

I said 'ingredients' too much.

[John]

No, it's fine.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

But in all of my few years, I have gathered enough information for some of these questions to have logical answers.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Sorry.

[John]

It's fine.

[John]

Can someone else post a paradoxical question, please?

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Why does anything even matter?

[John]

Because we make it so.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

What do you mean?

[John]

If you take a carrot, and you love it and care for it and it matters to YOU, then even though it will play no major role in anything, really, it matters.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Ok, this this is what I am going to ask because of that.
There is a sick child who is going to die, but you save the child with medicine.
Why?

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Think about it.

[John]

If right and wrong matter to you, then you will save the child. If the child itself matters to you, you will save it. If the fate of the world depends on this child surviving and you care about the fate of the world, then you will save it.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

What is wrong about not saving the child or the world?

[John]

The human lives in the balance.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

In what balance? What is wrong about death? We have this giant mindset that certain things are right or wrong, which we could easily change. Nothing matters.

[John]

Even if that is true, I choose not to believe it, as it is without a doubt the most depressing mindset one could have.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

I know. Eventually the question comes to, "If this is life, what is its meaning?"

[John]

That is your choice.

42!!!!!!!
Sorry I had to be geeky for a minute there.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Maybe it changes.
For me, it is to learn.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

What do you think life means?

[John]

To believe.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

In what?

[John]

Something meaningful. For me it's God. For you it might be something else.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

If I may ask, are you a Christian? If you don't answer, I will understand.

[John]

Yes, I am a Christian.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

I am a Neo-Pagan-Buddhist.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

I know, I know, it sounds strange.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

((Wait!))

[Laszlo, The Professor]

((Wait!))

[Laszlo, The Professor]

((Wait!))

[Laszlo, The Professor]

((100th!))

[Laszlo, The Professor]

What do you think of my theory, Badgerlord?
