Logic has just irrefutably proved that JSWolf cannot exist, and therefore cannot be eligible to win.

Q.E.D.

Actually you just proved that no one can win.

I thought I had proved everyone not JSWolf was eligible to win.
Logic is tricky stuff.

JSWolf's lack of existence does not reverse the conditions of the first statement.

Well, chickens aren't exactly known for their logic.

Don't be unkind to poohbear just because it is a chicken...though if you can think of other reasons to be unkind that might be OK.

poohbear_nc · 09-04-2011, 01:50 PM

Gee thanks TGS! I think! Errr.... wait .... were you just unkind?

I'm not being unkind. Merely stating facts. Twas a chicken who claimed the sky was falling. And then there's all that nonsense when you cut their heads off.

Logic can't disprove me. I win.

"Me" is not a proposition and therefore not capable of proof or otherwise, (it does say Norfolk doesn't it, does your compooooter not work on logic?)

pdurrant · 09-04-2011, 04:59 PM

All this logic late at night is too much for me.

Suffice it to say, I win.

TGS · 09-04-2011, 05:04 PM

Congratulations, (though, to be frank, I think such congratulations may be premature).

pdurrant · 09-04-2011, 05:18 PM

Thank you once again, but congratulations are not needed.

Nevertheless, courtesy dictates they must be offered.

pdurrant · 09-04-2011, 05:28 PM

I also thank you. I would be most grateful if you would all be kind enough to offer your congratulations on my victory by private message.
