    Just to point out, "knowing is half the battle" is specious logic.

    We can express the statement thusly:

    K=(1/2)B (where K=Knowledge and B=Battle)

    For this statement to be true then

    2K=B

    should obtain. But ask yourself, if you know twice as much have you already won the battle? No, the battle must still be fought. Even if twice the knowledge helps you avoid the battle, the battle was not fought and therefore we would have express thusly:

    2K=0B

    which leads to

    K=(1/2)0B

    at wich point I'm confused about what my original point was...

    @worsethannormal: Wait just a minute... if Knowing (K) is half of the Battle (B), then:

    B = K/2. "Thusly" (nice word choice), 1K=2B. Sooo, the more you know, the more you fight? Really, truly? Apparently there are exceptions. For example, you are George W.,

    Does that help?

    Wouldn't B=K*2, and 2K=1B? So you fight half as much as you know?

    @valkilmerisawful: Um, thats a brilliant video. As a Texan, I had to suffer under this guy as Govenor. He came into office with a surplus and then started handing out tax breaks, driving the state back into financial straights. It baffles me that "tax-and-spend" is so looked down on, but "don't-tax-and-spend-anyway" is considered a viable option. Voodoo Economics (coined by George Bush I) just makes my head hurt.

    Anyway, back to the video. Any idea what he was trying to answer? Was this edited? Where can I find this in its entirety?

    @worsethannormal: I believe it's edited, and it's an amazing job too. It was shown to me on YouTube by searching "George Bush speech", or something similar. I was crackin' up when I first saw it, and there are several similar edited videos.

    GI JOE= A team of soldiers so amazing that each one is only capable of doing one thing and one thing only.


    For example, Shipwreck can drive a boat, but he's otherwise useless. Then again, COBRA keeps getting defeated by the JOEs, so what does that say about them?

    There was another recently disappointing movie that used nannites to eat everything, and it shamelessly sports Keanu Reeves as Klaatu.
