This was my design for the Macalester Philosophy Club t-shirts. (on
the shirts, the questions are on front and the answers on back...)
 
The Top 10 Philosophy Questions of All Time, Answered!
 
10. How do I know anything really exists?
        -Kick it *really* hard.
 
 9. What is the essence of being human?
        -Not understanding the opposite sex.
 
 8. If a tree falls in the forest, and there's no one there to hear
    it, does it make a sound?
        -Not if it lands on a bunch of pillows.
 
 7. How do I know I'm not just a brain in a vat, hooked up to a
    computer simulation of life?
        -Look in the mirror.  If you see a gray, spongy thing in a
         glass container, you are.
 
 6. Can our minds exist seperately from our bodies?
        -If they could, we'd just send our minds to class and sleep in
         every morning.
 
 5. Is there a God?
        -A billion Hindus can't be wrong.
 
 4. What is the nature of Knowledge?
        -I'm still trying to figure out the nature of *college*.
 
 3. What is the meaning of life?
        -All evidence to date suggests it's chocolate.
 
 2. Why get a Philosophy degree?
        -It's more respectable than a theater degree, but you still get to
         drink lots of espresso.
 
 1. So, was Kant on drugs or what?
        -Probably.
