I am shocked they only listed 35

I did like the 'ovary' act

the whole water/celery thing reminds me of that riddle about the cucumber being 90% water or whatever and no body could answer it but tw did. He got it right. I forget the riddle....he never did get his prize, though. Just as well, I wouldn't be able to stand all his typing away whilst I was doing the deed.

the riddle was something like this:

On a sunny morning, a greengrocer places 200 kilograms of cucumbers in cases in front of his shop. At that moment, the cucumbers are 99% water. In the afternoon, it turns out that it is the hottest day of the year, and as a result, the cucumbers dry out a little bit. At the end of the day, the greengrocer has not sold a single cucumber, and the cucumbers are only 98% water. How many kilograms of cucumbers has the greengrocer left at the end of the day?

The way water is in celery is not the way water is in a bottle - not topologically inside it, but metaphysically as one of its constituents.

Some water is celery, but not much. Thankfully.

Water takes the SHAPE of the given container, not water BECOMES part of the given container.

And houses are just places for our stuff.

BTW, I got shoes on, but I ain't walking.

Celery is partly made of water. As are humans. A percentage of the world's water is in celery. A percentage in humans.

You can have a bottle without water, a car without doors, a house without wood, but you cannot have celery completely without water.

Similarly, you could ask, what percentage of the world's oxygen is water?

ZenGum · 01-27-2013, 05:08 PM

So, what percentage of the world's oxygen is celery?

Would you say that mummified people are still people?

Powdered celery is a product derived from dead celery, but it is not in esse celery. Celery is a living thing, for starters.

BigV · 01-30-2013, 09:39 PM

is it still living when I'm eating it?

if it's not, is it no longer celery?

A maple tree is a tree, sawn into boards it is no longer a tree but it is now maple boards. Still maple, just not a tree.

When I eat bacon, I digest it, and it becomes one with my body. Am I bacon?
