[16:40] <Ben> "Die Antwort auf diese Frage ist keineswegs selbstverständlich." --> when is it ever :/
[16:40] <BramP> Ben, if the answer was selbstverständlich, then the text would have been short and the author wouldn't get paid
[16:40] <Ben> LOL
[16:40] <Ben> good point
[16:41] <BramP> even philosophers only work for money :P
[16:41] <Ben> really? But only a few philosophers can earn a living with philosophy
[16:42] <Neil> poor philosophers, most are poor and unknown until they die.
[16:42] <Ben> nah, that's not true
[16:43] <BramP> Ben will just be famous for his philosophical and lengty STFF posts
[16:43] <Ben> painters are poor and unknown until they die. Philosophers always remain unknown, except to a small group of philosophers and philosophy students ;)
[16:43] <Ben> thank you, Bram *bows*
[16:44] <Neil> so Ben what job are you going to do, cause philosophy students and philosophers generally don't have much money. <G>
[16:44] <BramP> he'll be the King of Benland
[16:44] <Ben> I hope to be one of the lucky people who earn their living with philosophy <G>
[16:45] <Neil> good luck, what's the plan? I mean how do you do that?
[16:46] <BramP> by quoting philosophical texts to people who work at the bank, until they fall asleep, then he can sneak into the safe
[16:46] <Neil> LMAO
[16:47] <Neil> that may work once or twice
[20:57] <Ben|Posting> I am posting on Pandora, though. Obviously <G>
[20:57] <BramP> so Rob's standing behind you with a gun? or why are you posting on Pandora? <G>
[20:58] <Ben|Posting> Rob doesn't have a gun
[20:58] <Ben|Posting> So he's not threatening me with a gun. He's threatening me with a knife.
[20:58] <BramP> he threatened to drink your tea?
[20:58] <Ben|Posting> no, heaven forbid
(some time passes)
[21:01] <BramP> what is Rob doing btw? still there with a knife? <G>
[21:01] <Ben|Posting> yep, still there
[21:01] <Ben|Posting> although it's hard to post when holding a knife
[21:01] <BramP> can I borrow the knife? need to kill a writer's block
[21:01] <Ben|Posting> hmm, he's not holding a knife, sorry. It's much worse
[21:01] <Ben|Posting> He's aiming his teaspoon at me!!
[21:01] <Ben|Posting> AAAAAAHHH
[21:03] <Ben|Posting> why should he answer your mail? Why should anyone answer anyone's mail? What is so important about mail that it drives us away from our existential reflection and pushes us further into the realm of the virtual existential?
[22:01] <Bobby[posting]> Bram, you get the point. :P
[22:01] * Ben|Posting hands Bram a point
[22:01] * Bobby[posting] gives Bram a point. Here it is: .
[22:01] <Bobby[posting]> oi!
[22:01] <Ben|Posting> ah, you have a point
[22:01] <Bobby[posting]> I wanted to do that!
[22:01] <Bobby[posting]> now he has two points!
[22:01] <Ben|Posting> indeed...
[22:01] <Bobby[posting]> that's three!
[22:01] <Ben|Posting> [21:59] <Ben|Posting> indeed... <-- three points!
[22:01] <Ben|Posting> whoa
[22:01] <Bobby[posting]> you have more than Bram?
[22:01] <Bobby[posting]> twins... <G>
[22:01] <Ben|Posting> why do we think alike?
[22:01] <Ben|Posting> grrr!
[22:01] <Bobby[posting]> LOL
[22:01] <Ben|Posting> stop that!
