    If a tree fall's down in the woods and no one is around to hear it fall, does it still make noise? This has boggled my mind since I was a child.

    Who is on a $10,000 dollar bill again?

    “One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

    The speed of dark is exactly the same as the speed of light. Dark disappears as quickly as light appears.

    MY DEEP THOUGHTS EXACTLY!

    Now, who can explain why my dog hates it when I blow in her face, but loves to stick her head out the window when we're in the car? I'm not the original author of that question, but I wonder about it.


    Because your breath stinks?

    For sure, and knowing our luck we're one of the atoms in the wart on the nose of the giant being

    Assuming that life has no inherent meaning or purpose, and that all meaning and purpose assigned to life is subjectively based, is not everything in life objectively meaningless and without purpose? What is the point of continuing to live, assuming that there is no continuation of our consciousness beyond its current state, and no inherent objective to accomplish within our lives.

    Is the point to simply live without any defined meaning or purpose, and if so, why such a drive within the species to create subjective definitions to fill both voids with temporary and irrelevant values. Is it a necessity within our species to have meaning and purpose in our lives as a component of our means to survival?

    Is the point to live life in service to a higher power? By this, a higher power could be anything from a worthy and charitable cause, to the subjective existence of any one of the thousands of fictional and made up gods humanity has created throughout its existence. Again, considering the objective fate of both humanity, the earth, and the universe itself, what does this matter but within a subjective standpoint.

    Is the point to life to live within a moral code, upholding the fabric of the civilizations which our ancestors made so many sacrifices to create and maintain. Considering that morality, and the concepts of right and wrong are within themselves subjective creations subject to the diverse regions of the world in which they are created and applied, what is the point of upholding any moral code but that of one's personal obligation to oneself?

    Because others out there are trying to do the same thing and if we don't get along you won't be able to uphold your personal obligation to yourself

    If the universe is expanding, I've always wondered what is, like, two inches in front of it. What's two inches into the place where space HASN'T expanded to yet?

    I love thinking about things like that.

    As per the moral code thing - life is immutable. Everything changes, everything stays the same. Impermanence is the only constant. Do what you do, harm no one out of ill will or mistakes repeated.

    Wash, rinse, repeat.

    If the sun explodes and destroys Earth, will God cease to exist? Think about it.

    That's the whole "if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" query. (I.e - does god exist if those who think of him cease to think of him?) Fun stuff to think about.

    If a MIME fell in a forest, would he/she make a sound? Do we need silencers to shoot a mime? (Credit: Stephen Wright)
