They're Made Out of Meat

They're Made Out of Meat

by: Terry Bisson



"They're made out of meat."



"Meat?"



"Meat. They're made out of meat."



"Meat?"



"There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat."

The Lawnmower

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed.

Student History of Philosophy

(A compilation of student research, edited by Stephen Hicks, Rockford College)



Is philosophy a waist of time? Ethical debates have been around for a long time, but nobody seems to have any answers. Ethnics are very important. Ethnics are a code of values to guide human life. Basically, what you do with your life comes down to your personal ethnics. For the world to be good means having strong Altruistic people to help the society survive in this doggy dog world.
