What is Truth?

"Some new Cakes are nice."

But before doing so, a remark has to be made--one that is rather
important, and by no means easy to understand all in a moment: so
please to read this VERY carefully.

The world contains many THINGS (such as "Buns", "Babies", "Beetles".
"Battledores". &c.); and these Things possess many ATTRIBUTES
(such as "baked", "beautiful", "black", "broken", &c.: in fact,
whatever can be "attributed to", that is "said to belong to", any
Thing, is an Attribute). Whenever we wish to mention a Thing, we
use a SUBSTANTIVE: when we wish to mention an Attribute, we use
an ADJECTIVE. People have asked the question "Can a Thing exist
without any Attributes belonging to it?" It is a very puzzling
question, and I'm not going to try to answer it: let us turn up
our noses, and treat it with contemptuous silence, as if it really
wasn't worth noticing. But, if they put it the other way, and ask
"Can an Attribute exist without any Thing for it to belong to?", we
may say at once "No: no more than a Baby could go a railway-journey
with no one to take care of it!" You never saw "beautiful" floating
about in the air, or littered about on the floor, without any Thing
to BE beautiful, now did you?

A myth, though long believed. The Syrah is a Rhodanian grape, a cross between the white Mondeuse (itself often called 'Persanne', though it is native of the Savoie) and the little known Dureza.

Interesting article here.

Damn! You've got that aphasic virus from DS9.
 
So if no-thing existed, I suppose it's safe to say that there would be no truth, since there would be nothing to be true about and nobody to apply it, and nothing to test it against, and so what? Why not refine it a little and run around chasing our tails trying to figure out if it's possible for truth to exist in a world where nothing at all is true? It still doesn't tell us who makes a decent Shiraz. By the way you can scratch "Fat Bastard" off the list. It's almost as nasty as Yellowtail, and that's the truth.

For the Shiraz afficionados, you need to look HERE.

You will find two of the best wines in the country, if not the world, listed here. Grange Hermitage and Hill Of Grace.

Damn, I wish I was rich!
 
TRUTH is a G-string getting stuck in your crack.
I can't put it any clearer than that.
