The question to end all questions

[James]

The other questions thread didn't pan out very well. Partly because people are stupid, people don't care, and I couldn't think of any good questions.

But now, I just have this one question. And whoever answers it gets a PRIZE. Yes, a PRIZE! People like prizes.

And now, the question. You can answer as many times as you like. But once someone answers correctly, I will say so in the thread, and it will all be over. That person will then win a PRIZE.

"What's the first thing you know?"

[Mockery]

You know to breathe.

[Zomboid]

You know to blink.

[whoreable]

how to think.

[Anonymous]

How do you know you know it?

or

That you know something.

[Anonymous]

The first thing you know is that Kevin Spacey is Kaiser Sosé.

[Jixby Phillips]

That I hate Jamesman and his stupid threads >: >:

[Mockery]

OMG! JIXBY ANSWERED THE QUESTION RIGHT! HE WINS! :love :love

[James]

Jixby's just mad because nobody believes he really witnessed a monster party. :(

[Wiffles]

I know how to make waffles and pancakes ^_^

[Jixby Phillips]

SHUT UP JAMESMAN DON'T JOKE AROUND WITH ME I AM SERIOUS >: >: >: >: >: YOU SUCK AND YOUA RE A WASTE OF MY TIME >: >: >: >: >:

[James]

I desperately seek Jixby's approval. :(

[dj bastard]

cant you somehow kill jamesman through the net, i'll help.

[Grazzt]

The first thing you know is how to know, because if you didn't know how to know, than you wouldn't know what you know.

[jin]

I forgot.

[ziggytrix]

pain, hunger, fear :(

[James]

Holy fuck. Kelly... I now have to officially respect you. You got it right.

[kellychaos]

"What's the first thing you know?"

Only Jamesman could mess up the lyriics to the best Buddy Ebson song ever! :rolleyes :)

"The next thing you know, old Jed's a millionaire."

The Beverly Hillbillies Songs:
Opening Theme Lyrics:
Title: "The Ballad of Jed Clampett"
Composed By: Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs.

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed.
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said "Jed move away from there"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.

Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.


No prize for you, for trying to correct me.

[kellychaos]

oh well ... I tried ... ever since that "Smashing Pumpkins" fiasco I've been looking for ways to correct you. :)

[Captain Robo]

What... the hell?

[noob3]

SUCKAS

[Esuohlim]

How the hell does that question make anyone think of the Beverly Hillbillies first?

[Evil Robot]

The first thing you know is NOTHING because your just a dumb ass fetus. Breathing and circulating blood arent things anybody can know since you never actually learn them. Unless you meant to pharse it like this; "What's the first thing? You know?".

[kellychaos]

I think, therefore I am.

Methinks this thread may belong in the Philosophy Forum if y'all want to get serious with it. Otherwise, I think Jamesman was just making a joke ... y'all saw what happened to Jixby's time stopping thread. Do YOU want this thread to have the same fate? Just sayin :)

[Matt Harty]

No we don't, so you should probably leave.

[kellychaos]

Kindly remove your nose from my ass ... please and thank you. :)

[James]

Since Kelly earned my respect somehow, I'm inclined to say you have to leave her alone. :(

[sadie]

google = winner

[Esuohlim]

Since Kelly earned my respect somehow, I'm inclined to say you have to leave her alone. :(

Leave him alone. Apparantly, Kelly's a guy.

[Captain Robo]

Kelly is suddenly so cool :(

[soundtest]

Hey everybody! Look at my new avatar! Am I cool? :)

[noob3]

NO

[soundtest]

Oh dear :( that's too bad. Are you still hungry?

[Grazzt]

Once again, Captain Robo proves how dumb it really is.

[Zosimus]

I think, therefore I am.

- Rene Descarte

I doubt. Therefore I might be :confused

[Esuohlim]

Are we forgetting about Ol' Jed already? >:

[kellychaos]

"What's the first thing you know?"

My Descartes reference in regard to this statement is relevant because in his essay Meditations On First Philosophy he was intent on breaking down the whole scope of his knowledge in order to peel away all forms of doubtful empirical knowledge and find the one absolute reason that proves his existence and, in the process, explain why he exists and, building on that, how he could be sure of the knowledge that consequently follows (that's probably a horrendous run-on sentence :/ ). Anyway, it's an important question that I probably took more seriously than was intended in this thread and pursuing it in the way that I'm talking about probably does belong in the Philosophy Forum.

Anyway ... for those that ARE interested in such things, here's a link:
