I’d never pal around with Glenn Beck, and I’m not a anarcho-capitalist, or anti-government libertarian, so I’m Teller.

Actually, I think Teller talks in almost every P&T performance! Isn’t he the voice of MOFO?

I doubt either of them would want me to be them.

@Dr. Flimmer,

So what if I am talking and remaining silent at the same time?

You have someone observe you and tell you which it is… or you keep sitting in the box stroking the zombie cat.

Teller talks like mad, at least in the lobby after the show! And, oddly, he always seemed to be offstage whenever Mofo the Talking Gorilla had something to say…

I need to find my picture of my mom and Penn. She came up to his ELBOW!

If there is a start, there must be an end.

If I say “No” out loud, will the world explode?

Two of my cats are named Penn and Teller. They came from the shelter as a pair. Penn the cat is larger and darker than Teller the cat, but, cats being the way they are, Teller is the more talkative. Oh well.

Another of the cats, also a shelter cat, is named Sagan. The fourth (a stray who showed up at the barn) is Steffen, named after Steffen Peters, the rider who won the World Cup Dressage finals this year!)

Yes, I am well on the way to claiming my merit badge as crazy cat lady. I can think of a lot worse ways to be crazy!

I’d write more, but Penn the cat is making it difficult — between his walking across the keyboard and giving me head-butts of love, it’s a bit hard to type.

@unTheist odd since I only asked the one question with two options

DrFlimmer:
“So what if I am talking and remaining silent at the same time?”

Then you’re someone’s wife and the argument is almost over.

(With apologies to all the wives out there whose husbands have driven them to this unusual state.)

I am a Teller. But I wish I was a Penn!

Phil, you as a physicist (astronomers are sometimes just put in the same category as a solid state physicist, unbelievable ) should know that only an experiment can say “yes or no” and that the state of a system (in this case a human being) is normally a superposition of many states (in this case: two).

So what if I am talking and remaining silent at the same time?

Just made this quiz. It had to be expanded a bit, there are minimum number of questions and answers.

Everybody knows Teller can’t talk. I heard he had fisticuffs with a chimpanzee and the little sucker took his tongue for a souvenir, but Teller stole the chimpanzee’s heart. <3 (facebook, huh)
