Happy Friday everyone.
:-) :-) (Courtesy of Monty Python.)
The Philosopher's Song.
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, 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 whisky every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And René Descartes was a drunken fart.
"I drink, therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker,
But a bugger when he's pissed.

Here is their version of the song. Thanks for finding it Peter.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_WRFJwGsbY. This goes with my posting a Python link a day.
:-) Peter, how far can we go with their stuff, ie penis song and always be kind to an arab? Believe it or not, just trying to stay out of trouble.

There, I corrected it a little bit.
When I was in college I had to take this utterly boring and pointless class in "Philosophy for Business". (You want philosophy in business? Read Gordon Gekko!) I typed up the song and passed it around in class.

Both versions are considered correct. It all depends on which performance/recording your listening to.

Well, I always liked the Bruces' description of American beer!
:-)
And remember, the singer of "Never Be Rude To An Arab" paid for his wrong before he was even done singing!

I can't get my bra off.
:-) I need to do something like this once in a while as penance for making your mod job hard. I also do penance for Al being here.

Peter,
Also a big Python fan here. It's about the only thing me and my dad have in common. We used to stay up on Sunday nights and watch Dave Allem, Two Ronnies, and Python. I would then stay up later and watch Dr Who, but that's a different story.
