Ah philosophy where would we be without it - probably stuck in the Dark Ages debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin !
Nowadays we have moved into the virtual age and instead contemplate how many virtual angels can dance on the virtual head of a virtual pin.
So Dr Aristotle (I presume you have a doctorate otherwise this conversation will not become academic, as the lack of a doctorate means the lack of an academic !), as I was saying before I sipped that Hemlock lite, what exactly is a virtual angel ?
Well if angels finance real things (theatre runs etc) in the real world, then do virtual angels finance virtual things (like bankrolling Mother Theresa) in the virtual world ? Then again maybe they finance abstract concepts (such as the p/e ratio of Amazon.com) in the abstact world.
Having demolished virtual angels lets move onto virtual heads, is Steve Balmer the virtual head of Microsoft (well he's almost there) or perhaps Al Gore is the virtual President of the USA, afterall the current one isn't virtual (if that nice Monica Lewinsky is to be believed)
Just as a virtual thought, why did his parents call him after a White Rabbit (William Jefferson Airplane does sound cute though) on Magic Mushrooms - ah ha the mushrooms were magic, hence they were virtual - ergo cogito sum, Slick Willy is virtual and free !
