Cool. Rolls over, accepts punches to stomach (see my post to Corey who slung
a similar definition at me). My post thus boils down to "brains aren't
logical, if they act 'rational'ly, then they're simulating, approximating,
logical processing in a parallel and non-logical computing environment to do
it." And Aristotle can just about pucker up and kiss my ring.

Oh! Well! Getting all paternal now, are you? Thought you'd lost interest in
my fecundity issues.
Well for your information, as it happens I've had my period now, 33 days,
man, I was shitting myself. Not that you seemed to care much. Huh. You're
all the same.
