BEST QUOTES FOR A HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT EVER

From J.L. Austin, philosopher

"In virtually every natural language two negatives make a positive, nowhere is it the case that two positives make a negative."

Response from Sidney Morgenbesser, fellow philosopher

"Yeah, yeah."

Yep. We got a list of quotes and we have to write about how the ones we select off the list are related to science, our interests, and/or our understanding of the universe.

...that's what I get for signing up for a class titled "Paradigms and Paradoxes".

What kind of class is that? Sounds a lot like philosophy. Wish we had the choice of taking classes like >:

It's supposed to be for a science credit or something. There's a lot of unusual classes we can pick from here. I needed a first-year seminar, since I'm an Honors College student, and I picked that one because it sounded really interesting. I do like to over think so...ya.

Really, we just listen to our teacher go on and on with various stories and we're basically talking about how we see the universe and we question everything...like "is six really the same as half a dozen"? pffff.
