All things...........................	Dark_Crow	03/27/06
All things which have a beginning have an end, all things which have an end have a beginning; all things which have no beginning have no end, all things which have no end have no beginning.
Clarification/Follow-up by Jim.McGinness on 03/28/06 3:28 am: DC, If it has a name, it is a thing. This thread has o'erstep'd the limits of sense. Are you again writing in poetical imitation of Edgar Allen Poe? Is there some wonderful but obscure meaning underlying the apparent nonsense? I'm afraid I'm too unenlightened to see it. Harry Potter is a named thing. Harry Potter had a beginning, namely when J.K. Rowling thought him up in 1995 or so. Harry Potter will live forever in the pantheon of juvenile literature, he will never end. Even if the human race dies out and the universe evaporates back into vacuum fluctuations, our literary heroes will continue their imaginary existence forever. Frodo Baggins, Tom Sawyer, Elizabeth Bennet, Freddy the Pig, Hercule Poirot and Zaphod Beeblebrox will be there, too.

A pretty statement, but how could one tell if it were true? By things, are you referring to just material objects or do you intend to include some other types of objects?
