Everybody has a birthday, right? Why, even the most profound philosophers have birthdays. Rene Descartes, the great French philosopher, was born on this day in 1596. He was the one famous for declaring, "I think, therefore I am," as proof that he existed.
Poor Rene fell victim to his own beliefs, sadly. As Rene was sitting at the bar one evening, the barkeep noticed his patron's drink had gone empty. "Would you like another one?" the man innocently asked.
Rising to leave Rene answered, "I think not." And he disappeared.
Poor Rene.
