A nice (albeit stoic) reply to my third...

Or a blogger's (blogaholic's) creed? ;)

It's something I once uttered in conversation without thinking (I do that a lot) and then it struck me how absurd/profound one could deem it to be. It's 3.10am and I can't make much sense right now. Happy Easter Bunnies, Boynton.

"There are known knowns, and unknown knowns."

"I don't know why I don't know what I don't know I know."

"Why is the earth 6 billion years old? 'cos it took that long to find out."

"Of course everything means something. Even pointless remarks like this."

"But if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?"

"A shirt has a tail but cannot bark."

"God only knows what god knows."

"Jazz is about playing the same note differently."

"Why is a raven like a writing desk?"

"I hate this damn computer
I really should sell it
It never does what I want
Only what I tell it."

"A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose."

"You can't always get what you want, but if you try some time you just might find, you get what you need."

"Measure your head before ordering" - Sears-Roebuck catalogue circa mid 1950s.

"It's the fish John West rejects that makes John West's fish the best."

"Before you judge someone, walk a mile in their shoes. Then if you do still judge them, hey! yer a mile away and you've got their shoes."

"All of us are in te gutter, but some of us are looking for a light."

Hmmm...
"A shirt has a tail but cannot bark."
I like that, without knowing why.
Sounds like a line from a 60's folk ballad.
Folk is about playing the same song?

And I give up.
"Why is a raven like a writing desk?"

"And I give up.
"Why is a raven like a writing desk?""

Poe wrote on both.

Put that in yer Carrel and Dodgson it.

Another case of synchronicity city, Nabakov.

Just happened upon this site today (via grow a brain) which has Lewis Carroll's own reply to the riddle.
