I gave you a Tiny Can of Dr. Pepper because I appreciate the wittiness of your trenchant comment.

oh. I read it as the philosopher, and was confused. I do not know what things that man said, except that What doesn't Kill Him Makes him stronger (also: that's how long I been on ya? possibly a different guy.)

(so, if you cut off Kant's legs and arms, it would make him stronger? AWESOME!)

I'm afraid you've confused Immanuel Kant with Frederich Nietzsche.

Sorry, but long long ago I was a Philosophy major.  Don't ask me about Schopenhauer.

That's the thing, though.

I didn't... have a joke.

I only had the reference.

I couldn't throw out a bare reference and pretend it was a joke!

That would make me, uh, "Family Guy".

Schopenhauer? I thought you barely knew her!

So the next step is to refer to giving cans as applying the Categorical Imperative on them.

Tuna Casserole
Ingredients: 1 large casserole dish

Place the casserole dish in a cold oven. Place a chair facing the oven and sit in it forever. Think about how hungry you are. When night falls, do not turn on the light.

Yes.  It would make him stronger in his brain.
