Well, wouldn't "I think, therefore I am" imply that, say, the table he was sitting at am not. But obviously it am, despite not being able to think, so I think (and therefore am) that no matter what M. Descartes says, he's unlikely to disappear. Or something.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think he's going to have inappropriate sex with a co-worker which seems to normally lead to getting shot. I don't know that that will lead to his death, though. Since getting shot hasn't led to anyone else's yet...though they are due...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Crap, must watch WaT before succumbing to the whitefont. Must cue immediately.

If I only had a brain...
Actually, it's logically invalid.
I think => I am
is NOT the same as
I think not => I am not. That's a logical fallacy.
I think => I am
is the same as
I am not => I think not.
But the joke is a fallacy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Uh, it was a dog named blue.

I thought it was Boo.
ETA: Google tells me I'm right, but I won't link, because those song lyric sites scare me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I thought it was Boo.
Uh-huh.
When I was a kid, my parents bought a '73 Mercury Marquis Brougham that had a five-speaker 8-track tape player. It came with a Ford Family of Fine Music 8-track tape that had the Boo song. So I do associate that song with traveling, but not with living off the land.

You're right. But it's still a dog.
