What walks on four legs in the morning?
Two legs in the afternoon?
And three legs at night?
This is from an Ancient Greek epic I think.

-
*Oedipus. Sorry, stickler for ancient names.
-
Never read it in English so I wasn't sure about the spelling, thanks.

-
A human [spoiler]your not a sphinx[/spoiler]
-
Maybe I am. How would you know?
-
Because I know everything. I am omniscient and omnipotent. Do not question me mortal fool

Edited by Queen of Despair: 12/22/2014 11:48:00 PMSo you have the power to create a rock you couldn't lift? Have the power to create a space you could never see into? Have the power to create a question that you could never know the answer to? [spoiler]any answer here removes your powers[/spoiler]
-
There is no answer I could never not know. I know every answer to everything
-
Then you dont know or dont see or dont have the power to create something you could never know the answer to. So you are not an omniscient being
-
But whatever I create, I will immediately manifest the power to solve
-
But then you will still lack the power, sight or knowledge to create something you could never know, lift or see so therfore you still lack omniscient powers
-
[b]DAMN IT YOUR MORTAL LOGIC DOESNT APPLY TO ME[/b]
-
You didnt like that paradox did you xD
-
I am above that paradox. If I explained the solution to you your weak mind would explode.
-
Edited by Queen of Despair: 12/23/2014 12:39:39 AMSo you are saying you lack the power, sight and knowledge to create a way to explain to me in a way that i would understand without my mind exploding?
-
I could do it, but it would take effort. You are not worth the effort [spoiler]I don't have time to explain why I don't have the time to explain this to you[/spoiler]
-
So you are now saying you arent omniscient because you cant create a way to make something require no effort or time [spoiler]so you are sayig you arent omniscient because you cant create more time[/spoiler]
-
That's not what omniscient means. It means all-knowing. And you simply are unworthy of such advanced knowledge Do not presume to lecture me, foolish mortal scum
-
You have countlessly admitted that you dont have all knowing, all seeing or all power to do what you keep typing, you lose.
-
No! I never lose. I have won, it's just that you can't comprehend the scope of my victory
-
And you dont have the ability to explain in a way one could understand, so thefore you arent what you claim to be.
-
If you gained the knowledge it would destroy the time space continuum
-
But you said my logic doesnt apply to you so therfore you giving me the knowledge should not break the space time continuum, if this is out of your power, knowledge or vision then that means you arent an all powerful being because you lack the ability to do something
-
I don't need to listen to your heretical ravings. I'm right your wrong. That is it. I do not need to make sense. You are simply not worthy of the knowledge that would make you understand
