MisterVimes Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures "Aristotle, using the system of logic that he invented, proved that women are inferior to men because women have fewer teeth." Aristotle was wrong. Men and women have the same number of teeth. He never looked. One of the principle flaws in Greek philosophy (says the philosophy minor that would have counted the teeth) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures "Aristotle, using the system of logic that he invented, proved that women are inferior to men because women have fewer teeth." And you can tell the difference between a philosophy major and a science major by how they react to this statement. The Philosophy Major will start looking up counter arguements and supporting arguements. The Science Major will start counting teeth. Aristotle was wrong. Men and women have the same number of teeth. He never looked. Well perhaps Aristotle should have used Parmenides' logic instead. (IIRC his philosophy necessitated the creation of logic.) One of the principle flaws in Greek philosophy (says the philosophy minor that would have counted the teeth) Greek philosophy has flaws? Inconceivable! Aristotle was one of the 'natural philosophers' who believed that everything could be deduced from first principles And today scientist believe that everything can be deduced to the Laws of Nature, not to mention the teleological unicorn of physics, the "theory of everything".

Here's a great shopping guide for finding the best saber for a collector or cosplayer. http://io9.com/5702912/your-guide-to-holiday-lightsaber-shopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Celt Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures I have a friend who also makes light sabers- Ing Chao's Armory. His tend to be simpler and hardier for stunt fighting, but he tries to accommodate custom work within his means. He can also convert the ForceFX show sabers for stunt fighting.

I specifically have designed my blades and hilts for full contact dueling stresses. They are bright, and perfect for marital arts or fight choreography dueling.
