I know- do you know that I know what you know about the unknown? You do now!

Unknown is something no one knows about, right? So if no one knows about it then they don't know it exists so they can't logically search for it. What I'm saying is, you can't search for something you don't know about. It's like having a hay stack with a needle in, but you don't know there's a needle in it so you don't search for it.
I'm just proving, yet agin, why the rest of the world has no ability to chose the right wording or in some cases, the right impression. It's that little word tact. Most of the Universe thinks it's a type of comdom.

The point is, they know the questions, but the answers themselves are "unknown".
Anyway, they're only PRETENDING they don't know. They know them *really*.
Confused? Goooooood.

But that last paragraph about people searching for stuff who's existence they are oblivious of. It's a contradiction(I think)!

It might be a contradiction, but then again it might not be. Who knows?

If the everything outside of the set of things I know is unkwnown to me and everything ouside of the set of things you know is unknown to you then "the unknown" is that which is not in any set of things that anybody knows.
Of course, in order to know this is so, someone would have to know that this thing is unknown which would bring it into their set so it wouldn't be unknown anymore and ...argh, *sound of head exploding*
(The conclusion to this thought remains unknown )

Another thing unknown is *The Problem* which I MIGHT tell, Lisa, if you e-mail me...It's not that I trust you after the thing with my hotmail account, but I need to tell someone!

I quote from an essay I am trying to mark "However, many ICQ users which always tell lies about themselves on net and have an increasing tendency. As a reason that most people would not tell the truth and would become unreliable in their real life. In case, something tell was truth. Which couldn't get trust to other people......"
I hope this is helpful to your discussion as I find the meaning eludes me.

Qu'est-ce que le sens de la vie?
No one knows. With the possible exception of God, but it is probable - even in the slightest - that he doesn't know either.
