I think it is my favorite. First it is a comedy. And I like Shakespeare's comedies then how easily Beatrice and Benedick get fooled. I got the film with Denzel Washington.

I memorised Henry V's speech to his army before fighting the French. Don't ask me to quote it. My mind empties as fast as it is filled. I just know "band of brothers" because it is a title of a TV mini series on the 101st Airbourne Division.

1. mu

"Mu" is the correct answer to the classic trick question "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?". Assuming that you have no wife or you have never beaten your wife, the answer "yes" is wrong because it implies that you used to beat your wife and then stopped, but "no" is worse because it suggests that you have one and are still beating her. According to various Discordians and Douglas Hofstadter the correct answer is usually "mu", a Japanese word alleged to mean "Your question cannot be answered because it depends on incorrect assumptions".

Hackers tend to be sensitive to logical inadequacies in language, and many have adopted this suggestion with enthusiasm. The word "mu" is actually from Chinese, meaning "nothing"; it is used in mainstream Japanese in that sense, but native speakers do not recognise the Discordian question-denying use.

yeah, its definitely my favorite, and i've seen the film. Kenneth Branaugh is obsessed XD

love that speech. my history teacher memorized it for our european studies class sophomore year in high school.

did you see carwood lipton (pretty sure it was him anyway) in the little interviews they had in the beginning of each band of brothers ep? i think it was like the last ep, where they had the interviews at the end, where he quoted that exact line in the Henry V "we happy (he says lucky) few, we band of brothers, for he today that sheds his blood with me today shall be my brother." good speech.

It is like a Mobius strip. There is no end.
Mu: There is no answer.
Moot: Having no practical significance.

Is it me or does anyone else find it strange all these words begin with the letter M.

It's a loop with no end. Like this:

Kind of similar to this (same artist):

I've know about this loop, but just discovered its name as I was looking up moot. It startled me how it follows a similar logic. You can not reach the end just like you can not answer a "mu" question.

I keep threatening to write a scifi book called "Mobius Dick: Or The Great White Hole." Haven't gotten around to it yet. I know what the first line will be though, "Call me, Ishmael."

Having taken cabs in Chicago I believe that is their normal procedure. I have actually had one cab driver act as a tour guide. Pointing out every woman that met his strict requirements.

With a finger pointing straight ahead he would exclaim,"Look at the number".
