There are 2 types of people in the world...

...sailors who have run up on the great barrier reef, and sailors who will. :)

Hypo members with excruciatingly painful back spasms, and the rest of you.

" There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty.

The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Who's been pinching my beer?

And at the other end of the bar the world is full of the other type of person, who has a broken glass, or a glass that has been carelessly knocked over (usually by one of the people calling for a larger glass) or who had no glass at all, because he was at the back of the crowd and had failed to catch the barman's eye. "

Optimist: "The glass is half full"

Pessimist: "The glass is half empty"

Pragmatist: "The glass is exactly twice the size it should be"

[sanctus]

Those who wonder if the glass is half full or half empty and those who just drink it up and/or fill it up again ;-)

[Pyrotex]

Those who rant and rave and argue endlessly about whether their glasses are half full, or half empty, or too big, or too small...

 

and those who quickly drink our beer, and then drink the beer of those who rant and rave and argue endlessly...

The real problem is when the glass is empty. Then it's neither half full nor half empty. Rather, it is completely empty. And that is a big problem. 0 * 2, 0 / 2 = 0.

Those that philosophi on the half-ness or un-half-ness of liquids, and those that don't judge the vesicle by the amount of liquid it holds.
