The Ilkley Moor Argument

As the song goes (when translated)


If you go out on Ilkley Moor without a hat on you will catch your death of cold
Then we shall have to bury you
Then worms will come and eat you up
Then ducks will come & eat the worms
Then we shall come & eat the ducks ....
.
If there is only a fixed amount of matter in the world then we are all cannibals
