Good morning, /sci/. I'm an ornithologist. I study birds. To be more specific, I study birds that live inside my house. In the course of my studies, I've been able to ascertain the following:
1. All the birds in my house are blue
2. All the birds in my house are like all the birds outside
Now, some of the non-ornithologists among you will tend to react with incredulity to these propositions, but I assure you -- they are indisputable in light of my third observation:
3. There are no birds in my house
This is a ground-breaking discovery, as I'm sure you understand; if all the birds in my house are blue, and all the birds outside are like the birds in my house, then all birds are blue. So, I was on my way to the local ornithology convention, thrilled to present my result, but then I stumbled upon an alarming sight: ugly BROWN sparrows nibbling on a discarded doughnut at the bus station. Ooops. Looks like I've disproved logic. I don't know how to feel about this. It's very intriguing, but I feel like I've bitten off more than I can chew. What do I do with this knowledge? Do I keep it to myself? Do I share it it with the world and cause untold chaos? Help me out, /sci/bros.
