   All you need to know:   
      
   Immanuel Kant was a real pissant   
   Who was very rarely stable.   
   Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar   
   Who could think you under the table.   
   David Hume could out-consume   
   Schopenhauer and Hegel,   
   And Wittgenstein was a beery swine   
   Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.   
      
   There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya'   
   'Bout the raising of the wrist.   
   SOCRATES, HIMSELF, WAS PERMANENTLY PISSED...   
      
   John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,   
   On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.   
   Plato, they say, could stick it away;   
   Half a crate of whiskey every day.   
   Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,   
   Hobbes was fond of his dram,   
   And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart: "I drink, therefore I am"   
   Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;   
   A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!   
      
   The trouble with the natural philosophers (well, with philosophers in   
   general) is that they start from some point they feel is fundamental and   
   TRUE (carved in granite as old as the world/universe itself). There's no   
   such TRUE though, so they're all little more than Bullshit Artists.

   Yes, Eliza.
