The statement was made that 'Time flys like an arrow but fruit flies like bananas.' to whit he took exception.
The debate began as if in fact a fruit fly had the ability to 'like' of not. 'Like' defined as preferred was obvious. Fruit Flies do like bananas as well as other fruits - hence the name. RedUFO was of the opinion that 'like' required a higher brain function that a Fruit Fly was incapable due to its limited neural structure.
A classic philosophical dilemma that wasted much time and ended in no definitive conclusion other than the fact that much time was wasted and nothing was accomplished.
Not unlike most threads on the PPOT...
