So as anyone who knows my reading preferences knows, I kind of <3 style="">Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs I've discovered a section of 23 questions, the answers to which will prove to Chuck whether or not he can really love someone. I have taken it upon myself to answer all 23 of these questions. Luckily for you I'm doing them a day at a time so you don't have to read 18 pages of shit. ENJOY!

QUESTION 1: Let us assume you met a rudimentary magician. Let us assume he can do five simple tricks: he can pull a rabbit out of his hat, he can make a coin disappear, he can turn the ace of spades into the Joker card, and two other tricks in a similar vein. These are his only tricks and he can't learn any more; he can only do these five. HOWEVER, it turns out he's doing these five tricks with real magic. It's not an illusion; he can actually conjure the bunny our of the ether and he can move the coin through space. He's legitimately magical, but extremely limited in scope and influence. Would this person be more impressive than Albert Einstein?

ANSWER: Yes. Einstein had to spend years working on his theory of relativity that supposedly is the mathematical equation that explains our universe. This is a very impressive achievement in and of itself. However, theories can be proved wrong. This is not the FACT that explains the universe, it's just a mathematical equation that may or may not prove something in the long run. This magician, on the other hand, can actually perform feats that are unique. Now, this skill probably took many many years to learn, possibly as long as it took for Einstein to learn enough about math and physics to create E=mc2. But, as was previously stated, Einstein's theory can be proved wrong. This magician, without a doubt, can do MAGIC; he can perform feats that should be impossible, and yet can do with relative ease. Now, as to the limited range of these tricks, let us consider the things that Einstein is remembered for by the majority of the global population: crazy hair, E=mc2, the atom bomb. Two out of three things on that list are pretty damn dubious, and one thing, as I said, could hypothetically prove to be wrong entirely. This magician on the other hand is a five trick pony. That's five more magic tricks than Einstein could do. Magician for the win.
