Wrong. He asked how long is a piece of string, and I happen to have a piece of string here, which is about 2 cm long.

Ah, dude, that's too bad. I'll knock a tinnie back in your name. Remember the girth comment...

Cheers

The string is as long as our minds ponder; the more time we use thinking of this metaphorical string, the longer our chain of thought becomes. The string represents thought, and is therefore infinite. Until of course the mind is no longer capable of thinking, making the string immeasurably long and able to be terminated at any point...or it just possibly, might be another rhetorical question.

This thread has been subjected to the general tidy-up of Geek Culture. Hopefully normal service will be resumed shortly, and people will start to post informative or otherwise useful contributions.
