Blurry Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Was thinking about words today and how if we dissect them they may hold a "deeper" meaning;For example;Universe Uni = OneVerse = SongTherefore, Universe = One songorConscience split up is Con & Science. To con is to deceive or cheat. And science, as we know, is based purely on facts/proof. Since our conscience is intangible, it is essentially cheating facts.Anyone else have any others?
