To which the empricist replies, "At least not on this > side." very good (but where did the empiricist find a friend?) which leads me to the math-sheep joke: << An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician were on vacation in Scotland. From a train window, they saw a black sheep in the middle of a field. "How interesting", observed the engineer, "all Scottish sheep are black." To which the physicist replied "No, no! Some Scottish sheep are black!" The mathematician gazed heavenward, then intoned, "In Scotland, there exists at least one field, containing at least one sheep, at least one side of which is black." >> wikipedia has a math humor page (no, it's not blank): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_joke i love this one: << Three statisticians go duck hunting. Their dog chases out a duck and it starts to fly. The first statistician aims and takes his shot, it misses a foot too high. The second statistician aims and takes his shot, it misses a foot too low.
