Just think of all the times somebody said "Well, logically..." in a situation which had nothing to do with logic. That's where it begins. Then they move on to citing some obscure scientific law to justify/explain something that has absolutely nothing to do with the domain where the law applies. Think physics applied to theology. Or, my favorite, Gödel applied to basically anything. <br />This Leonard dude is a master of the craft, though.bulbulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505565281151328789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-11311041865151685982009-11-12T01:31:53.507-05:002009-11-12T01:31:53.507-05:00So we all get a half a square meter to ourselves?So we all get a half a square meter to ourselves?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718339134378532181noreply@blogger.com
