Dear sir, poor sir, brave sir: You are an experiment by the Creator of the Universe. You are the only creature in the entire Universe who has free will. You are the only one who has to figure out what to do next--and why. Everybody else is a robot, a machine. "MANE – THECEL – PHARES." |

They'd write down the solution they'd arrived at and then in the morning, when sober, they'd implement that solution. Fantastic!! I'll try and remember who they were - I have a lot of time for those guys :D Everything is permitted.. |

Nothing Is True User ID: 881413 United Kingdom 02/05/2010 07:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Please do remember and tell me ... Quoting: JADROK, got it. Very appropriately for this thread, it was the Persians!! Who'd a thunk it?! Herodotus wrote of the Persians (5th century BC).. "If an important decision is to be made, they discuss the question when they are drunk. The following day, the master of the house submits their decision for reconsideration when they are sober. If they still approve it, it is adopted; if not, it is abandoned. Conversely, any decision they make when they are sober is reconsidered afterwards, when they are drunk." Everything is permitted.. |
