I think *because* I exist, not the other way around. Taken alone, the quote seems to be on the money. Except there are many non-thinking people who exist as well LOL

Hmmm...  I think Descartes was talking about  sentience; that only a being able to conceive of its own existance can prove same.

That's true, unfortunately.  I was kinda hopin' that folks like Michael Moore, Nanci Pelosi, Howard Dean, et al were really just figments of the weirder parts of our imaginations.  Oh, well... it was a pleasant delusion...

Descartes went into a bar.  The bartender said, "Would you like a drink."

Descartes said, "I think not."

End of Descartes.

No, the idea that he was completely imaginary was the pleasant delusion.  I can't think of anything particularly pleasant about Moore.  I am glad he's not on my side, though.  I s'pose one could call that pleasant...

A proton walks into a bar and asks for a pint of lager.

"Are you sure?" asks the barman.

 A quark walks into a fetish S&M bar.  Another patron asks him,

"Are you a top or a bottom?". 

"Neither", replies the quark.  "I'm just plain strange."

The quark then spies an attractive female quark sitting at the bar, and decides to introduce himself.

"Hi, pleased to make your acquaintance.",  he says.

To which she replies, "Charmed, I'm sure".

A neutron walks into a bar and orders a drink.  "How much for that?" he asks.

"For you", replies the barman, "No charge".
