MT. Clue for Ross?

[Nick, no Nora]

Keep in mind that if Ross had an alibi, NJ is a strong candidate for being the one that provided it.

Perhaps she did.

[JeffP]

Something else. Ross had been to Patton State Hospital in San Bernadino and Noel Jette had been originally from San Bernadino. Perhaps there's a connection there.

Google Bot. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

The egg.

Something that wasn't quite a chicken laid an egg - and from that egg emerged the chicken. Evolution, man.

There were only these ( bots) on the forum page at one point yesterday. I saw an old sci-fi movie where they drove the robot crazy with a question that could not be answered. Frankly, I've often pondered it myself.

[Holmes201]

You're right about that.

But how "not quite" did the chicken have to be, to be not quite a chicken?

It is like the Ship of Theseus thought experiment. Replace one piece of wood on the ship, it is still the same ship. Keep doing that for a while, and still the same ship. But eventually you will replace every piece of wood, and no original part of the ship remains. Is it the same ship? If not, at what point did it become a different ship?

Every single cell in our bodies is reproduced many times over. Like a carbon copy, the copies get less sharp on each regeneration. The cells eventually are broken down to a point of no return. We are known by others as the same person, but in our own minds we understand we are not. We are less than we were before. Our organs go, the eyes weaken, the heart beats, but not as strong. Our brains too are an organ, and break down like any other tissue. Are we the same person or are we different. Nothing is the same for ever. The universe is slowly dying the minute it was created.
