If you dig around, it appears that they were out first with news that Meyer was interviewing in Toledo:

That gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling

"...annoying philosophy student?" I'll have you know that the most interesting and profound class I had at CMU was a philosophy class entitled, "The Elements of Logic," taught by Dr. Gill, a Harvard graduate, who was exemplary in and out of the classroom. Reading/studying Sarte, Camus, Malraux, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Pascal, and Kafka, is not, my dear sir, for lowbrows!

The MAC, outside of Marshall, needs to find a way or be committed to holding on to top coaches! Is it possibe? I sure hopem so because I'm not sure there are that many out there!!!

Just because that schtick worked with the brunette with glasses you met at the CMU library doesn't mean that we're impressed. Though, I've got to give style points to a guy who knows both his Sartre and his Sir-Mix-a-Lot -- two classic expressions of existentialism.

Quote:The Philosophers Song

Immanual Kant was a real pissant
&nbsp;Who was very rarely stable

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
&nbsp;Who could think you under the table

David Hume could out consume
&nbsp;Schopenhauer and Hegel

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
&nbsp;Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel

There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
&nbsp;'Bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
&nbsp;On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill

Plato they say, could stick it away
&nbsp;Half a crate of whiskey every day

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
&nbsp;Hobbes was fond of his dram

And Rene' Descartes was a drunken fart
&nbsp;"I drink, therefore I am"

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed
&nbsp;A lovely little thinker
But a bugger when he's pissed

Not at all! I can hold my own in most debates. I guess I just dislike people whose arguments are both the means and the end. Seems like missing the point. Not that anyone here is like that, of course...

[quote]Composers: Terry Jones, Michael Palin, & Fred Tomlinson

A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, rocks about 2" in diameter.

He then asked the students if the jar was full? They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the
jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open
areas between the rocks.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.

They agreed it was.

The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of
course, the sand filled up everything else.

"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this is your life.
The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health,
your children - things that if everything else was lost and only they
remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things
that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything
else, the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no
room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend
all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for
the things that really matter. Pay attention to the things that are critical
to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical
checkups. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to
work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal. Take care
of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The
rest is just sand."

But then a student then took the jar which the other students and the
professor agreed was full, and proceeded to pour in a glass of beer. Of
course the beer filled the remaining spaces within the jar making the jar
truly full.

The moral? : - that no matter how full your life is, there is always room
for BEER!

Camus, Sartre and Descartes are at the theatre enjoying the latest Adam Sandler film. Sartre comes back from the snack bar and notices that Descartes has bogarted his aisle seat. Sartre calls him on it. He says "Yo Descartes, I think you're in my seat" Descartes thinks Sartre's a *****, so he says "I don't think I am"

And with that, Descartes disappeared.

Sartre sits at the cafe, drafting his *Being and Nothingness*. He says to the waitress "A cup of coffee, please, with no cream." The waitress replies "Sorry, monsieur, but we're out of cream -- how about with no milk?"

Dirt Devel,

CMU has a library? LMFAO!

LOL! I guess that story is making the rounds. It was my pastor's sermon illustration the weekend before Thanksgiving.
