Philosophical questions of the day:

[cimorene]

1. How much of worldwide belief in the supernatural is actually caused by a fundamental lack of understanding of the concept of probability?



2. How is it that a small child can still be amused by a comic movie when they don't understand any of the jokes?



3. Account for forty-year (thirty?) popularity of Garfield in spite of the fact that it has never been funny.



4. Salty or sweet? Prove your answer.

Pursuant to 3, Lasagna Cat, a series of live reenactments of Garfield strips plus remix music videos. Surreal and hilarious while highlighting exactly how stupid and un-funny Garfield really is. Funnier than Garfield-minus-Garfield, yo. Everyone should see at least a few. Pursuant to 2, I got Robin Hood: Men in Tights on DVD a few days ago.

The Garfield question is a true Zen master-caliber meditation topic.
