Philosophy Slam
Still philosophizing after all these years.

One of my prescription drugs comes with a slightly different set of stick-on warning labels every time, which is pretty funny (or at least I think it is). Apparently, they can't make up their minds about which ill-effects it actually causes. Or maybe it's a mind-manipulation test for highly suggestible patients.
Anyway.
I picked up a different prescription yesterday, which also features the yellow warnings on the bottle. Two of the four involve particularly interesting examples of convoluted syntax:
MAY MAKE YOU DROWSY/DIZZY THAT ALCOHOL MAY INTENSIFY
IF PREGNANT OR BECOMING SO DISCUSS USE OF DRUG WITH YOUR DOCTOR
Pascal: The present is never our end. The past and the present are our means, the future alone our end. Thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.
