PUZZLES
Is this cup I hold here half empty
Or else, as some would have me think, half full?
A troubling conundrum, eternally insoluble
Yet quickly resolved by simply letting go
Full of confidence, the tortoise
Challenges his friend the hare to a race
“Just give me a ten yard start,” he says
“And you’ll never catch me,” he boasts
And he’s right, for whenever Hare reaches the spot
The tortoise has already gone
Still … When the hare has gone twenty yards
Where is the tortoise then?
Imagine a goose in a narrow-necked glass bottle
How can you get the goose out of the bottle
Without either of them coming to any harm?
Easily … There; it’s free
A puzzle you might find more tricky
History professors can’t answer it
Scientists still haven’t solved it
Which came first: the chicken or the egg?

Oh wait, wrong Hogan 😀
Mittens? Well, I suppose he’ll be needing some TLC after his drubbing in the election. 😛
Oh, you guys are priceless! Thank you so much for a morning smile! But you know which comment made me burst out laughing?
😐
Hoping you all have a glorious day!
Agreed! ♥ 😀
One of those days where I had a hard time not getting myself fired at work…. it is really hard to look like you’re programming when you just want to ROFL…
FOCUS MAN, FOCUS!
Well, you could always haul the family to Pagosa! We could all sneak up into the Weminuche Wilderness and build some hogans, no one would be the wiser… Or less wise… But you might wanna bring some mittens… 😉
😐
(-_-) (just the head LOL)
“high fives” all around!
I had better be careful or I will lose an appendage… perhaps that’s how the queen of hearts got her start? ♥ 😀
If you lose an appendage you may ‘weld a remark’ (anag. ‘dreamwalker’) for a start 🙂
Our comments were synchronous, dreamwalker444, (great ‘mind’ think alike ?), but I’ve gotta “hand” it to Ben ! 🙂
Aw come on guys I’m just kidding… I may have only given half an applause but I feel Ben deserves a “full” standing ovation for all his great work… thank you Ben!
😳 You are most generous. Thank you.
LOL this is the sound of one hand clapping… woosh woosh woosh woosh
Go on, dreamwalker444, I give in ! Who did come first then, the chicken or the scientist…(or is it “egg-head”) ? 🙂
Please see my comment to dreamwalker444 above.
Can you hear my hand clapping to applause you, Ben ?
Well the simple “scientific” answer is that there were creatures who laid eggs way before there were chickens…
…and certainly, probably, they taste like chicken… 😀
(apologies for my colorful remarks if you happen to be vegan / vegetarian…)

Thank you for the repost. 🙂
“It’s not what you see
It’s the way that you view it”
Yes Ben, from the ‘point’ of view of limited, 3-d consciousness, or from the infinite ‘points’ of view of limitless Consciousness 🙂
Both chicken and egg were co-created simultaneously, through the expression of Consciousness.
Likewise, the glass is always full of Infinite Permanence…no ‘two’ ways about it ;o)
😉
Thank you, Ben!

Gone completely beyond” 😀
