OT - bored with gaming ? Get philosophy!

Another tune I recall somewhat :

Oh where have you been Billy Boy Billy Boy, oh where have you been Charming Billy ?

I have been to see my wife shes the joy of my life shes a young thing and can not leave her mother.

How old is she Billy Boy Billy Boy, how old is she Charming Billy ?

Four times six and five times seven forty eight and eleven, shes a young thing and cannot leave her mother.

The net is full of surprises :

Oh, yes, I concur. Those hats were one of the best features of the 18th century!

If the average human could take a more educated view of the world, i think that accepted modern philosophy would have far more Nietzschean flavour to it.

You're undoubtedly right. I've only recently discovered Nietzsche (Zarathustra is amazing) - it's unreal how badly misunderstood the man is - the common view has him as some sort of proto-Nazi when he's actually the opposite. I truly feel that his spirit could do much to make the world more livable....

I don't think that I'd care to place one of those on my head. (though they sound rather Vonnegut-ian and/or Cronenberg-ian ) I'll stick with tricorns instead, please....

It was a metaphore. This is nothing more flexible than metaphorous things.

and mistranslated. i was recently informed that a better interpretation of (cant quite recal the german) "the will to power" would be "the will to create" or "the act of creation" which makes a hell of alot more sense in context, when you think about it. and its far less arogant too.
