Oh. Well, in that case I'm not really interested in that.
Likewise I'm not interested if the 4 dimentional chicken singularity's eyes are red or blue or green, and I'm not interested if there is one god or a number of them, and I don't care about their names (if they do exist).

YES! YES YES YES I KNOW! I'm pointing out that semantics WILL FUCK THINGS UP. We're saying the same thing (I think:)
Perhaps I didn't make myself clear.
When I say "Playing with semantics" I meant "using imperfectness of the language we're using in to obscure the flaws in the reasoning"
In the example I quoted the last time, you do two mutually exclusive assumptions: that the thing you call "nonexistence" does not exist, and that is does (it is "present"), except one of the assumptions is "cleverly" hidden between words.

You can assume the thing you describe as "nonexistence" does not exists. This bears no contradiction.
Gengar003 wrote: Yes, except "Strawberry jam existing" does not carry [...] the conceptual contradiction of something that DOES NOT EXIST ending up existing.
If you assume it exists, and doesn't exist, at the same time, it carries just as much contradiction as your example.
Except I'm not playing with semantics.

Maybe some people will benefit.
I'm just afraid someone may mistake your pseudo-scientific babblon for actual science. Which, given the "brain shutdown syndrome" is all to likely. Unfortunately.

You are the Non. You must go now, and never return."

"1.Scan in high res 2.tweak with curves,levels or something to clean up the scan (or use channel mixer to remove blue pencil lines) 3.Add colour using a layer set to multiply. 4.Add wordbubbles and text as vector shapes. 5. Merge all layers. 6.resize to the web size. 7. Export/Save for Web" that's all I know about webcomicking.

My is drawn and, as a special treat, colored! I'm in the process of lettering it now - - which might be easier if I didn't have a baby shower full of babbling females in the other room bugging the hell out of me.

Hooray!

I'll check all the comics of the people who posted in this thread on Monday to make a list of the FSM comics, so if you're doing one, post here saying so!

Mine is in the hopper awaiting posting, although the FSM doesn't actually appear, just His image.

Denial is not falsification. You can't avoid a fact just because you don't like it.

I don't think I'll be doing that. Genger003'd probably keep asking questions and give poor Abol another breakdown.

I have my comic made! And in it I hope to introduce a new tradition in Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, you'll know what it is when you see the comic.

Well, yeah, scientce/tists and people deliberately asking questions that don't necessarily make sense scientifically don't seem like good matches :-p

I could prepare a question sheet and leave it at that though.... I doodled one in school.... And in photoshop... in my spare time :-p

I get the feeling that my comic'd progress better and faster if I worked on it any day of the week other than sundays... ^_^;

At least I've got my idea this week ahead of time. :D
