Last thought of the day
Rene Descartes has had a bad day and spends the night at his favorite bar drinking a bit too much. The barkeeper asks him: "Do you want another, Rene?"
Descartes pauses a bit and says,"I don't think so."
and instantly disappears!

Had to look up the background - I really need to figure out which philosophers go with which philosophies. Now it makes perfect sense  . Good one.

Rene Descartes was sitting at a bar. The bartender came over and asked if he would like another drink. He replied, "I think not." And he vanished.
Heisenburg was also sitting at the bar. After Descartes vanished in a puff of smoke, the bartender walked over to him and asked, "Did you see that?"
Heisenburg replied, "I can't be certain."
The bartender then noticed Einstein was there. So he asked him if he could believe what had just happened.
Einstein replied with a shrug, "Well, to me it's all relative."
And so it goes...

I was told we were only allowed one Descartes joke per thread, Richard.

We should have let Richard put the Heisenburg before Descartes.

Max Tegmark proposed that there existed another thread on PS.com where this joke had already been posted.
Heisenburg said that if anyone looked for it, it would change the nature of the thread and thus would make it undetectable.
Pascal wagered that we should assume the thread is there and you shouldn't post it.
His logic: if it is there, Richard will find it and mock you for your re-post; and if it is not, you lost nothing by keeping the joke to yourself.
Niels Bohr proposed that their was a chance Richard could find it.
Einstein responded to Bohr and said that Richard had admin privileges and chance was irrelevant.
Bohr fired this back at Einstein: "In the PS.com universe(multiverse), nobody tells Richard what to do."

While rereading this thread I tried to see if any of the the puns made me laugh out loud.
No pun in ten did.
