Fot thoise few of us who have given up hope (of what?)

No hope is better still - it goes all the way

because EMPTY = FULL

therefore NONE = ALL

Or, should we say "NONE at ALL"?

When Half becomes Full
======================

Consider a 10 ml cylinder containing 5 ml of water:

1. We say that the cylinder is half-empty
2. We also say that the cylinder is half-full.

Since we pertain to the same thing, then they are the same. In Math,
we say they are equal

1/2 empty = 1/2 full

then we can factor out 1/2, giving us


1/2 empty = 1/2 full
---------- ---------
1/2 1/2

leaving us with

empty = full

Hence, empty is also equal to full

Dickibus,

I am an engineer and consider math as well as todays economy and costs. Given the 10 ml cylinder; I would say that it would be cheaper to buy a 5 ml cylinder, fill it full and put the savings of not having to buy a 10ml cylinder in my pocket to pay for something else I need or want.

P.S. Our 10 ml cylinder over here would probably be a pint container. By the way, how much are your world membership dues?

And would the currency be in pounds or ounces?
