Logic excercise: The infinite motel on the moon.

[dustin_archibald]

Here's a "problem" that can help expand your brain. I remembered it because of various discussions about infinity.

You own a motel on the moon with an infinite number of rooms. Each room can only have 1 person in it and all the rooms are full. Suddenly Bill Clinton shows up and needs a room. You really have to get him into a room but you can't kick anybody out into the cold dark of space. What do you do?

[Guille]

I know this one too. You move everyone 1 room +, for there are infinite. And the room 1 is free for the ex-president. There is even a harder versioN. infinite people come at the same time to enter the motel, what do you do? Move everyone to odd rooms, and have the even rooms for the new ones.

I have picked out a few words that have become highly prejudiced through propaganda or other “culture” efforts. Here are the words.

Attention Deficiency To improve bad theater the management may either try to have the play changed or to reprogram the audience. The second option, believe it or not, is tried occasionally and never seems to succeed as well as the first.

Monotheism: happy unity of church, state, physics and whatever?

Fetish: what do they carry on long sticks in processions?

2nd coming (not here now) So who is in charge?

judgment (religious type) future appointment not an ongoing process?

Intellectual is an individual who is able to confuse others about his own incompetence by manipulating language.

Superman – I seem to prefer the underman. Not sure why. Pets?

Ambition: at whose or whats expense?

Work ethic – invented mainly for unattractive labor

Servitude: finally an accurate word (not in use)

Superfluous note how this word too has disappeared from usage. Why? There isn't anything suerfluous nowadays?

Academic when presented with a problem will tell you at once who else was puzzled by it.

Destruction can destroy the prison of BS too and so create freedom)

Introvert – extrovert says nothing about the unpleasantness of crowds, lack of privacy and overcrowding

Conservative is a label that carries as much meaning as "fashionable" does and it has no real contrary. It seems to be a description of a lack in the individuals so designated. Its entertainment value lies in the periodic attempts to convert this lack of human content into a simulation of a living entity, a philosophy which then becomes a performance akin to the Night of the Living Dead which I highly recommend in the black and white version.
I promise you that performance is not easily forgotten.
