At that rate, pizza delivery would go off like a lead Drifloon and DiGiorno would we swimming in cash. Either that or I hope to Arceus that's some ridonkuolous future inflation going on there....

The idea of begging the question has more to do with logic than provocative ideas; see https://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/begs.html for details. Matt, I love your posts.

I was in Egypt for 6 months in 2001 and you could order not just pizza, but KFC and a bunch of other restaraunts online and have it delivered to your door.
