but it's kind of like saying that God's power is limited because He can't make a circle with corners.

He can't? I can.

problem comes down to, amounts, I'd suggest, to saying that the unlimited is limited by the definition of unlimited.

Pretty much. Kurt Gödel nailed it when he determined that a complete and consistent set of axioms for all of mathematics is impossible, as it is in philosophy.

I call it

but I don't think that word means what I think it means...

What was I just reading about Godel? Man, I hate being forgetful!

(What is the picture from? That actor, outside of being wonderful in Clueless, was also in Dinner with Andre, wasn't he?)

Okay. I'm cooked. It's been a long day and it figures to be a rough week.

Inconceivable!
How delightfully apophatic! :)

BTW, The Princess Bride is one of the best movies ever made (IMHO, of course.) MD, if you haven't seen it then do so as soon as possible!
