Congrats, Emily!
although I've heard that he's kind of a tool. I hope he doesn't read this board. Anyway, it's just hearsay. But it's true.
How could you not love him? Honestly.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think I need Plantinga for Dummies.
There are three books that might fit that bill. There's Alvin Plantinga's God, Freedom, and Evil, which is his take, for educated laypeople, on the problem of evil. There's James Sennett's Modality, Probability, and Rationality: A Critical Examination of Alvin Plantinga's Philosophy, which places Plantinga's early and middle work in relation to each other (though it's not really for "dummies"; more like advanced philosophy undergrads and beginning philosophy grads). Finally, there's a collection of Plantinga essays, The Analytic Theist, written (of course) by Alvin Plantinga but edited by James Sennett. Nicely, it distinguishes which essays in the book are difficult and which are easy.

Oh, I also want to mention the irony that I was sitting here being impressed about the stuff that regular people know on Cash Cab, while this whole philosophy thing is going on here.

Very true. Wasn't meant to mean that the two are always impossible together, just that to do what I really want to do (go back for a PhD), I'd be talking 3-4 years of full-time school. Even if I got a full ride and a stipend, ain't no way I could afford to live alone in LA on that.

Yes, but you would get the much more impressive outfit. Something to think about.

This is so timely! I am working on my next assignment, which involves professional ethics. So, um Bob Bob, I'm taking note too. Do you want me to attach your name to my notes, or can I pillage at will?

I have the PhD and didn't bother buying the robes, so, er, so much for the cool outfit. Whoops!
