My favorite Wikipedia fact: the page on The Ship of Theseus has been edited so that all of the original text has been replaced by new, but exactly the same, text.

Wait, what? :confused:

Are you Stephen Wright? Because this sounds suspiciously like, "Someone broke into my apartment and replaced everything with an exact replica." 🤨

That still makes no sense to me, but okay. I believe you, I just don't get why they would do it.

Sorry, I was answering the wrong question. I am about to get explainy!

The Ship of Theseus is a thought experiment based on identity over time. Theseus was a king who used his ship to save the kidnapped children of Athens from King Minos after the Minotaur was killed. Every year, the Athenians would make a pilgrimage in that same boat. A Greek philosopher (Plutarch? I think?) wondered that since it was used for so long, if every part was eventually replaced, would it be the same ship? There are a bunch of schools of thought, but not necessary for this, so I won't bore you.

The point is, in the way every part of the Ship was replaced, so was the Wiki article. It is a geeky joke. So is the captcha: either the ship is the ship, or it isn't, depending on which way you take the experiment.

Ah. I completely whiffed on that one. I was thinking Odysseus, rather than Theseus. 🤦‍♂️ That ship didn't survive.

Not that it will redeem me in any way, but I see your Greek mythology joke and raise a dead philosopher joke.

René Descartes walks into a bar. The bartender asks, "Would you like a beer?"
Descartes replies, "I think not."
And poof! He was gone.

I will raise you a longer version.

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks the horse if it's an alcoholic considering all the bars he frequents, to which the horse replies, "I think not." And the horse disappears.

The humor of this depends on you knowing about René Descartes, the French philosopher who first introduced the phrase cogito ergo sum, which is Latin for "I think, therefore, I am." I would have explained that part first, but that would be putting Descartes before the horse.
 
They did a form of this in an old sitcom over here called Only Fools and Horses.

(The ship, not the thinking gag)

Basically there was a road sweeper called Trigger - who said he had had his broom inherited from his dad, and his dad before him.

It had had 13 new heads and six new handles.

Amazing how they last so long....

The same could be said for humans! Every cell in our bodies is replaced in 7 years or less. Physically, we are not the same people we were 7 years ago, yet we retain their memories and history…and physical scars, despite cells replacing themselves 🤷🏻‍♀️
