Aragon sent me this a while ago and I thought it was funny, you guys can decide

A fire-breathing dragon lives in my garage. I seriously make such an assertion to you. Surely you’d want to check it out, see for yourself. There have been innumerable stories of dragons over the centuries, but no real evidence. What an opportunity!

1. " show me ", you say. I lead you to my garage.You look inside and see a ladder, empty paint cans, an old tricycle—but no dragon.
2. " Where’s the dragon? " you ask.
3. " Oh, she’s right here ", I reply,waving vaguely. " I neglected to mention that she’s an invisible dragon. "
4. You propose spreading flour on the floor of the garage to capture the dragon’s footpprints..
5. " Good idea ", I say, " but this dragon floats in the air ".
6. Then you’ll use an infrared sensor to detect the invisible fire.
7. " Good idea, but the invisible fire is also heatless "
8. You’ll spray –paint the dragon and make her visible.
9. " Good idea,except she’s an incorporeal dragon and the paint won’t stick. "
10. And so on, and so forth. I counter every physical test you propose with a special explanation of why it won’t work.
11. Now, what’s the difference between an invisible,incorporeal, floating dragon who spits heatless fire and no dragon at all?


If there’s no way to disprove my contention , no conceivable experiment that would count against it, what does it mean to say that my dragon exists? Your inability to invalidate my hypothesis is not at all the same thing as proving it true. Claims that cannot be tested, assertions immune to disproof are veridically worthless

I could never think of a responce to all those idea's, I'd be like "Um... Whatever... I give up..."

One question though, how did he know there was a dragon there, if there really wasn't anyway to see it?


Other then that, I like it... Heh...

What's the point in trying if there is always a contraidction to what you say?

So if I were to say...I would make myself invisible, just like the dragon, and cut its head off, and go un-invisible with it on, and scare the shit out of you, what would you say to that?

Well I'd get him to prove the dragon was there or else I wouldn't believe him.

You could make him get the dragon to make an audible sound. If that fails, then there is no way of denying the dragons existance.

I thought it was rather amusing:p

Sort of complicated, but amusing nonetheless.

Or you could just put about 50 pounds of C4 in every dimension known to the universe within that Garage, travel to another galaxy, detonate it, then ask the guy with the dragon whether it was still there.

Well, if you've had to know anything about religion (any religious bullshit), then I know I wouldn't have got it, because I hate religion.

Duh, it's not like it's the hardest thing in the world to figure out. Doth the "then there is no way of proving it doesn't exist" from my post.
