LOL!
Well, I *might* claim Nietzche was a philosopher... Naaaw, probably not...
So, yeah, you're right, Matilda. Charlatans, all. :-).
I'll take Descartes, though, if you don't mind, just for old time's sake,
being the inventor of analytic geometry must count for *something*. Okay,
okay, even Pascal, just for fun... :-).
Here's a hint, for those of you in Rio Linda: If it *ain't* logical, it
*ain't* philosophy. For lack of a better term, it's *literature*.
"The Trial", indeed.
Feh.
Damn. It's *good* to be King...
Thankyeverramuch,
R. VIII, Rex

<Now, where's that roast suckling pig... Oh, *that's* right --- uurrrp! ---
I just *ate* it poor Matilda, I knew her well... PORTER!!!! Another PIG,
please. And WIPE my chin...>
