Well, I give up. I'll just submit the paper as is and pass or fail on that.

It's too late to do more, and I doubt I could've done better with more time. Which is good, because if I thought otherwise, I'd have to kick myself. Hard. But this is actually the rewrite, I got my act together and wrote a paper on time, but I hated it and decided to start over. AT THE LAST MINUTE.

Seriously, it's like I can't write properly unless I'm missing a deadline. It's perverse.

Night all!

He let us out early, because we actually managed to finish the subject.

*laughs*

We were discussing the Cartesian Circle, which is how Descartes' theory got into trouble. Basically, Descartes says that even if there's an evil force out there making stuff up, the one thing this force can't make up is that he exists. Which makes sense. It's hard to believe that you're making something think that he or she exists when really they don't.

And then Descartes says that this evil demon can't make him think of things with more reality than exists in nature. Or something. Basically, ideas come from something, and they can't come from something with less reality than the thing the idea is about. An evil demon can make you believe in things less real than the evil demon, but he can't make you believe in an infinite god. So god must exist. And since god isn't a deciever, the real world must exist too.

Except how do you know that ideas can't come from nothing? Because if they could, god would be a deceiver. Yeah, but weren't you trying to prove god exists?

Anyway, the professor went over this several times, with three different projector screens, so that even the slowest student would understand how this is a vicious circle. I played freecell. Just when I was starting to wonder if these precautions were really necessary...

Professor
You know who
Me

P: So, you can see it's a circle. Any questions?
Y: So... it's a circle...
P: Yes.
Y: Is that bad?
M: *blink*
P: Yes, it's bad. Because then you haven't proven anything.
Y: But no, it's good! It's how you prove god exists!
M: *gigglesnorts, literally*

They spent a few minutes with the professor trying to explain why you can't prove god exists by saying that you know you aren't being deceived because that would mean god's a deceiver.

Sorry about the capitalization, me lazy.

I just realized something!

One of my friends complained about how if she wanted to change all incidents of a certain user picture with another user picture, she had to give the new user picture the same keywords, even if they were unrelated.

This is not true.

User pictures can have more than one keyword, so long as keywords are separated by commas. So you can have user pictures numbered 1-whatever with an additional keyword (separated by a comma from the number!) describing the picture itself.

I'm not sure how this'd work for replacement uses, though. So she's probably right after all. But I'm just happy, I learned something new!

Summer session's almost over!

Time to celebrate... with bad jokes!

Post your worst jokes here. Bad puns, questionable taste, terrible punchlines... it's a bad joke day.

I'll start.

Dracula is walking down the street, when he gets attacked by a falling pile of sandwich meats, bread, and fruit. Finally, he's impaled on a toothpick. Before he dies, he screams ( This is a really bad joke... )

See what I mean? Really bad jokes.

I can do better worse.

Do you know why it's called Staten Island?
Because when Henry Hudson was sailing, and he saw it, he said ( *sighs* )

Okay. I'm done. For now.

Oh boy.

I actually saw a bad name today, on a cashier's nametag.

Nyah.

Nyah?

I'm sure it's said nie-uh or something, but I can imagine having to have kids up and down the block call you nyah-nyah or something.
