T-Rex: Wait, I know some truths that are absolute: mathematical truths! How could I have been so blind?
T-Rex: It is a FACT that one plus one equals two!

T-Rex: All I need is a way to convert mathematical truths to the real world and I WILL NEVER BE WRONG AGAIN!

Dromiceiomimus: Um - I'm sorry to break it to you, T-Rex, but mathematical truths aren't absolute either. Math is built on a priori assumptions: you start with a few things that you assume are true and build on them! Stuff like "1+2 is the same as 2+1". Then you build up a mathematical system around that, but that doesn't mean math is true. It's just - consistent!
T-Rex: But... 1+2 IS the same as 2+1!

Utahraptor: Or so you think, T-Rex!
T-Rex: Damn my potentially-flawed senses!

Utahraptor: When our mathematical assumptions APPEAR to match up with reality, the results may also seem to apply - but math isn't any more "true" because of that! It's still based on unproven/unprovable assumptions. And you can actually build up systems where you decide that 1+2 does not equal 2+1, and they're just as consistent!

Narrator: LATER:
T-Rex: Attention, everyone I've ever met and ever will meet! Never mention the "flawed senses" idea again, okay? It prevents me from knowing absolute truth.
Multiple off-panel voices: SURE THING, T-REX!
T-Rex: Patrick Stewart! What are YOU doing here?
Off panel: um, being BORED

October 16th, 2007: I just placed the order for the hoodies, so they're being printed AS WE SPEAK i mean AS YOU READ and they should be shipping soon. Thanks everyone! Also, hey, if you've got one of the new Failure Is Just Success Rounded Down or > take boat shirts, send me a picture and I'll put your smiling face up on the internet! Everyone will get to see it! That'll be something, huh?

Here is a great comic for you to look at: Rice Boy!
