Funny thing

I found this today on Jerry Coyne's web site. (He gets cross if you call it a blog.)

PHILOSOPHY is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat.

 

METAPHYSICS is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that is not there.

 

THEOLOGY is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat, that is not there, and shouting; “ I found it!”

 

SCIENCE is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat using a f—– flashlight.

By Jove, I think he's got it. (PS: It's not Jerry's own set of similes. It's from a reader named Leon. Bravo, Leon!)
