Mega Jungle Props to the chimp who can best answer this question:

Name something in this world that can't be argued.

Best answer gets a personalized, autographed copy of The Passion of The Christ -- by your's truly, The Kang; or, if "The Passion" is not your gig, then an initialed Trojan Condom and a sack of yellow gummiworms.

Wow. I like that.

That's a nice start.

So, can this be argued? Or do we have a Procurer of Prophylactics on our first and only attempt?

That this thread will windup in Elsewhere?

And, "mom" is only "wow" in English.

Perhaps. But we can argue it until it does, if you'd like.

Your quote above is a refutation of my earlier statement. And though I agree with you -- and though I believe you to be 100% correct on the matter -- we still argued it, either way.

No rubbers for you.

everything can be argued. it might not always be a coherent argument or a correct argument but EVERYTHING can be argued.

the only thing that might even come close to being free of an intelligent argument is a well written legal contract. a contract where every possible angle of an agreement is acknowledged and thoroughly explained. you know, like those 348 page healthclub contracts that binds you and your first born to a membership...

I've thought about this a bit more tonight, and I think I've had a revelation: I have arrived at the correct answer to my own question.

I wish there was someone out there who was willing to mail me some rubbers.

There is one thing in our existence that can not be argued, and it is the only correct answer I can imagine.

In my mind, it is simply a three word answer. It is something so inarguable -- so irrefutable -- that it can not be severed by the prodding of all our human frailty.

Trojans to the Ape who can come to this same conclusion.

I can argue that "everything can be argued." I do not know about everything -- I know about a few things. There might be some things out there that are inarguable -- some things we haven't yet stumbled upon.

Right? I mean, "Everything" is a humongous word.

The only way to fully be confident that "everything" can be argued is to know about everything.

And if any of us knows about everything, then I've got some damn good questions about some NFL parlays this weekend.
