It's just a number.

Like 42.

You're a coward!

If there's no news to report we make it up. We've a paper to run and lots of money to make. Now go out there and win us a Pulitzer!

There is some spin on that one. Though blowing them up with no one too close to them is one customary way of safely disposing of explosive things.

Did you just contradict yourself? Maybe a personal disagreement or aurgument? Maybe not. That's 12 options and 6 involve a personal aurgument. An argument that cannot be won or lost. I see your problem clearly. Your life is a no win game for you.

I was aware of that, and that's why I found the news article bizarre.

Nobody would risk defusing a floating mine when it posed no risk to anything.

They probably used a drone with satchel type charge to detonate it.

You come online just talk to yourself ?

I used to feel that way on certain forums, but that was because no one would talk to me.

Tell us more about this 'committee' in your head. I'm certain that I can help you.

It's a committee of one. The holy trinity so to speak - me, myself and I. Thing is, there are billions of these committees out there and they just keep on multiplying like rabbits.

One of the best things about my personal committee is that I can talk about myself behind my back right in front of my face all at once. Quantum physics?

Damn! You are smart...I guess you include 'holy' for tax purposes.

To paraphrase Emo Phillips;

I hedged the holy allowing each individual to decide for themselves.

One of my biggest life obstacles has been "appearing smarter than I really am."

More important though, I've found the source of the Magic Triangle.
