From: Bruce C. Wright @ Duke University Re: Bishop Berkeley and Idealism

Which reminds me of two limericks I've heard somewhere:

There once was a man who said God Must think it exceedingly odd That the juniper tree Just ceases to be When there's no-one about on the quad.

Dear Sir, your confusion is odd I am always about on the quad So the juniper tree Will continue to be Since observed by, yours faithfully, God.

(maybe this belongs in net.jokes).
