Riddle of Epicurus

The Riddle of Epicurus (c. 341-271 BCE).

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.

Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

see: www.positiveatheism.org

etc. vs. et al

et cetera - and the rest

et al - and others

How long it should take?

How come if your boss has no idea what he wants, or
how to do it, he still thinks he "knows" exactly how
long it should take?

Artificially Flavored

I was just sitting around the office lunch room and noticed a co-worker munching on a bag of Jay's Vinegar and Salt flavored potato chips. Then I noticed the big letters...

"Artificially Flavored".

So, they're not even using real salt or vinegar anymore?
