Appeal to False Authority

"Your logical fallacies aren't logical fallacies at all because Einstein said so. Einstein also said that this one is better."

I've found that it's easy to learn fallacies better and retain the information if you look at them in a humorous way. Does anyone else have good examples funny fallacies to help everyone out?

Persuasion

Where do you most often see persuasion in definitions and arguments?

Guilty as Charged

So I'll start off by admitting, I am very late this week with my post. My apologies.
Well that gets me thinking. What would the world be like without time? Without a way to document what happened when? How was the concept of time created? Would life be able to go on is it does now without the perception of time? Maybe things would be better off! We could move on from a terrible moment in our lives with ease, because what's now is all that matters if there is no past tense. Could this work, a world without time? Ideas?

Substitutions for Religion

To me it seems that religion is a way for people to answer the great unknowns in life. How else do people cope with these questions? Obviously there are answers like science, but are there other ways as well?

Another post about Running...

How is it that people can love running? Bill Bowerman said this to his Oregon running team, including the great American distance runner Steve Prefonataine, "Running, one might say is basically an absurd pastime upon which to be exhausting ourselves. But if you can find meaning in the kind of running you have to do to stay on this team, chances are you can find meaning in another absurd pastime: Life."  In this one statement Bowerman says first how ridiculous running is and makes it seem pointless, then tells us that running can help us truly discover the meanings of our lives.  Obviously it is more than "an absurd pastime," and has greater meaning, but what is it, and why do people love it so much?
