I'm trying to remember the name of this thing, but when I google it I just get results about boats for sale and I don't remember enough to be more specific lol.

It's some sort of philosophical question, basically "if every board is replaced in a boat until none of the original materials remain, is it still the same boat?". I remember reading an article on the Greek philosopher that wrote on that question.

Looks to me like this thread can be locked now.

A man once described hell as a place where there is no reason. Thank you, Feminists, for dragging me into hell.

Yep, lock the thread.. it doesn't get any better than this.

Now building Vault 101, reverse engineered from yesterdays technology.. or I could ignore it, and let you figure it out |:
