A friend and I have coffee just about every morning. She's not a normal girl. She's more like a schizofrenic's alternate personality. One of the reasons I like her is that she loves to engage in utter useless conversation, simply for the fun of it. Now, it's not your nomal stuff like "The foot troubles of aunt Betty Lu" or why it takes so long for the DMV to process your license photo. No. Our discussions are usually about the absurd, like; Which would be worse, losing a country or losing a numeral? Why do they sell hot dog buns 8 in a pack and hot dogs wieners 10 in a pack? What qualifies one as a superhero?
Just this past weekend in the comics section a comic ran engaging one of Zeno of Elea's paradoxes; the paradox of motion. It was after giving it some thought and a bit of research we realize that each morning we participated in an exercise much like Zeno. It is the process of ‘reductio ad absurdum’, in which we take one another's ideas and reduce them to absurdity.

That's in great part what you'll find here; quickly keyed mutterings relating to the more memorable of these conversations.
That's all I have for now. Good day.
