Fickle database
you refuse to fall in line --
sleep, alas, denied.
A: We have decided to re-enact the Cartoonist's great struggle with this site's database.
B: That's right! I'll be playing the part of the database!
A: So without further ado:
B: *Ahem*
A: You are a circle.
B: I am a triangle.
A: No... You are definitely a circle.
B: I am certain I am a triangle.
A: You don't fit the criteria for a triangle.
B: And yet I have three sides.
A: No you don't! You don't have three sides!
B: Who said I did?
A: You did! Just now!
B: Then I must be a triangle.
A: YOU ARE A CIRCLE.
B: I never said I wasn't!
A: You said you were a triangle!
B: Well maybe I'm both.
A: ... you can't be both.
B: I'm operational!
