Oops... sorry guys!

So. 666 is the Number of the Beast. Is 888 the toll-free Number of the Beast?

LOL! (Really).

No trouble at all - that's what I get for popping out to the bank on my lunch hour...

I don't know why you would think I am interested in such a thing. It's not like I'm going to flood the thread just to increase my chances of doing such a thing...

Obviously a "square circle" is something that is simultaneously both a square and a circle.

That statement is irrational, absurd, and meaningless, meaning that we've come to the end of the road.

Ah. Luckily for me, it wasn't my idea in the first place:

To: general_re

square (skwâr) n. 1. A plane figure having four equal sides.

cir·cle (sûrkl) n. 1. A plane curve everywhere equidistant from a given fixed point, the center.

Now tell me how a thing can simultaneously be both a square and a circle.

Your parlor games are getting boring.

Just to let you know, I read your post 775. I don't have time to try to address it (workworkwork), but I appreciate the effort.

Briefly, Aquinas' argument does seem to draw heavily on Aristotle, which is good, but I still think there's a lot of reification going on, and also some nebulous, not-too-well-defined premises in there. But that's for another time.

That, sir, is nothing more than a cheap trick...
