    Nothing 'mere' about you Dave .

    I met Descartes down the pub, he's only any use once he's had a few, but aren't we all. Philosophy is helped by alchohol.....as long as your audience is also plastered.

    Notice Graham asked 'Whos your favourite?' not 'Whos the best philosopher' this suggests familiarity with the person to me....so unless you've also met some of those fine minds down the pub*, you HAVE to vote for ME, the week minded gibbering but familiar fool . I voted for myself in a 'i think therefore i am' kind of way.

    Good lyrics DS, but for some reason they seemed to omit you, am sure you could add a line or two yourself......

    I reckon Nietzsche gets it by a whisker. Anyone who promoted the idea of hedonistic dionysian revelry is alright in my book.

    Socrates isn't there as, let's face it, he'd be a contender.

    However, some of you havent voted for me and are obviously not taking this seriously enough.

    Can we stop the poll while I'm winning ? After all, all the best governmental polls stop when they've already reached the correct result

    Ummm. I'm sure that nerds are as keen on hedonism as everyone else.

    They just find it harder to get any!!

    I guess I'll just have to vote for you as well then.

    Well, DS, how does it feel to be as popular as Chomksy, Descartes, Kant, Nietzsche, Plato, Sartre and Wittgenstein put together?

    More philosophy

    I have striven not to laugh at DS's actions, not to weep at them, nor to hate them, but to understand them

    (One of you ought to get this!)

    My striving hasn't been a complete success, incidentally

    Well, theoretically, Monika should I believe
