Dang! It’s TUESDAY already.

Philosophy of Chicken Enchiladas

Thales, 500 BC: "Wait a minute, what the heck even are chicken enchiladas? They are probably just secretly made of water or something."

Plato, 300 BC: "Chicken enchiladas aren't even real, man. What's real is the concept of chicken enchiladas."

Avicenna, 1000: "You see, God created chicken enchiladas, but he didn't have to. He could have never done it. God is good."

Descartes, 1600: "What if none of this was real? What if we are just being tricked into thinking there are chicken enchiladas by an evil daemon? Although...not that evil."

Leibniz, 1700: "yes, but what if in every other possible world, chicken enchiladas don't exist? Ergo, this is the best of all possible worlds."

Hume, 1750: "what if we woke up tomorrow and chicken enchiladas no longer tasted good? Shit, that would freakin' suck, man."

Marx, 1850: "why can't everyone have chicken enchiladas all the time? I'll tell you why: the bourgeoisie."

Wittgenstein, 1920: "There is no definitive difference between chicken burritos and chicken enchiladas. It's all just words that we agree on."

Camus, 1950: "yes, life is meaningless and short. but hey, chicken enchiladas are pretty dang good, and that's enough for me."

The fortune…

When seven-year-old Alice got home from school, her mother asked her what she’d learned that day.“We learned how to make babies,” said Alice.

Alice’s mother was shocked. She sent her daughter outside to play, then she called Alice’s teacher to complain that the things she was teaching were not appropriate for second graders.

“Did you ask her to explain how it’s done?” said the teacher.

“No,” said the mother.

“Ask her, then call me back,” said the teacher.

Alice’s mother went outside to where her daughter was playing and asked her, “So how do you make babies?”

Alice replied, “You drop the ‘y’ and add ‘ies’.”

Warmish Wednesday

Before we get down to business, I want to show you this. After more than a century in a private collection, one of Vincent van Gogh’s paintings has been shown in public for the first time since the artist painted it in 1887. “Street scene in Montmartre (Impasse des Deux Frères and the Pepper Mill)” It is distinctly impressionist and depicts a couple walking in front of an entertainment area in Paris.
