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).
