if it is funny and not funny, then is it zen?

    9: <h1>So it all happened that one day...</h1>
   10: <p>
   11: I was sitting around wondering (and in my wondering) I thought
   12: about what would happen if two polar opposites were to join
   13: in a circle with a curvy line and what could be more opposite
   14: than "Zen" compared to "LON-CAPA".
   15: </p>
   16: <img src="logo.gif" alt="zen and lon-capa" />
   17: <p>
   18: And...woah.  If two polar opposites joining was equivalent to
   19: Zen and Zen equals the universe, then what happens to LON-CAPA?
   20: </p>
   21: <p>
   22: How can Zen+LON-CAPA=Zen?  We could assume that LON-CAPA=0
   23: in which case LON=CAPA.  However LON-CAPA is supposed to be
   24: LON+CAPA, at least semantically.  Thus, LON-CAPA=LON+CAPA
   25: which means that CAPA+CAPA=0.  And if LON=CAPA, then LON=0.
   26: If we are working in an arithmetic system, then this is
   27: all incomplete if we consider things completely.
   28: </p>
   29: <p>
   30: It gets so confusing!
   31: </p>
   32: <p>
   33: Maybe it is the case that Zen means that Zen and LON-CAPA exist
   34: which means that Zen exists which means that Zen and LON-CAPA exist.
   35: See how nice this is!  All this logic, and it fits in a circle,
   36: just like the image up above!  Thus, we can approach a non-fictional
   37: understanding to the effect that everything below here is <u>completely</u>
   38: fictional.
