Also, I think I must have missed this thread previously, 'cos Gav's Dolphin Gun has made me wet my speedos with laughter! Thankfully I wasn't drinking at the time of reading.

No, but they have 'leg-buddies' whome are missing the other leg and go together with either 'leg-buddy' to buy shoes. Save a fortune they do!

Why is Ovaltine called Ovaltine when neither the product or packaging are oval-shaped?

Because, if you examine them under a microscope, the tiny granules that make up the stuff are, infact, oval shaped. I know, I couldn't believe it either.

How many press-ups can Jesus do?

Well, theoretically, Jesus can do an infinate number of press-ups. However, he could never actually do an infinate number of press-ups because that would take all of infinity to do, and he has far better things to do with his time, such as saving humanity etc. In gym/fittness circles this problem is known as the Jesus Paradox.

Ah, but if God and Jesus are omnipotent and exist independently of space and time they could surely create an open universe with different laws of physics containing an incarnation of Jesus in it doing press-ups forever.
Maybe they have seen this thread and done just that. Or maybe they arranged for this universe to contain beings who would discuss such a topic, just for a laugh. Who can say?

Oh man, that's a mind fook is what that is!
Actually, could you ever actually do infinity press-ups? 'Cos, you know, you'd never actually finish.

OK then, if I was omnipotent and wanted to do an infinite number of push-ups, I would do one push-up in one second, then a push-up in half a second, then a push-up in a quarter of second, then a push-up in an eighth of a second, and carry on, doing each push-up at twice the speed of the one before.
1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + etc. etc. forever = 2 seconds.
After two seconds I would have done infinitely many push-ups.

Maybe every though WE have, spawns a parallel universe. Maybe we created our own universe in this manner. MAybe through an act of 'faith' WE brought god into existance.
I believe they call it the grandfather paradox.
Possibly.

OMG this thread is blowing my mind!!!!!!
Bert- I do believe consciousness is a form of energy, who knows what it can achieve? WHO KNOWS?!!!
Martin- that's possibly the cleverest thing I've ever read. That has totally blown me away. From now on you are know as REED RICHARDS.

I believe they call it the grandfather paradox. Possibly. Nope, the Grandfather Paradox is something quite different. I think you are referring to the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics - the postulate that each decision point spawns a number of alternate continumns based on each possible outcome of the decision in question. The Grandfather Paradox is often advanced as the limiting case that prevents time travel from being possible. In short, you travel back in time and kill your grandfather before your father is conceived thus preventing yourself from being born. If you were never born however then you did not exist to kill your grandfather and so he clearly doesn't die. Therefore you are born and do travel back in time and kill him, so you are never born..... it is suggested to be an unresolveable paradox and therefore evidence that time travel is not possible. (Although I have a thought at the back of my mind that it only works that way in a strictly linear universe - which we assume we live in on the basis of our subjective experience. Unless of course we are P K Dick, in which case all bets are off.....). The other Grandfather Paradox is of course the no-longer-ever-existed founder of a time-travelling voodoo cult/dissident Time Lord splinter group. But I suspect that wasn't the Grandfather that you had in mind. Karl
