Here's a handsome lad.
And in other news, those philosophers are carnivaling again. Thanks Gracchi! I particularly liked the post from TAR about non-philosophers' ideas of what we do; some great stories there, plus some interesting reflections. Check it out!
Coincidentally, today's Dilbert addresses the same issue, believe it or not. Dilbert is out on a date, and addresses his companion thus:
Dilbert: No one ever wants to take more than half of what's left of the last doughnut. That's why I call it Xeno's [sic] doughnut. Hee hee!Sigh. Of course, that's Zeno of Elea he's talking about, not Zeno of Citium! Zeno of Citium's doughnut would remain untouched on the plate! Ha ha! (Oog.)
Dinner companion drains glass.
Passing waitress, to dinner companion: I heard some of that. Do you want to switch to hard liquor?
Dinner companion, holding out glass: Hurry.

I blogged about that exact same cartoon, LOL!! You needn't have the "sic" after "Xeno's," however, as that's an accepted spelling, and in fact the one I've seen the most often. :-)
That's funny - I've never seen it spelled with an "x". I actually think it should be a "z" - the Greek letter is a zeta, not a ksi or xi. On the other hand, "donut" would be an accepted variant for "doughnut," though I prefer the latter (mmmm ... doughnuts).
