False. Schizophrenia plays a role.

Nineteen apparently.  (Bolded to make sure.)  But when you consider all the fine novels and other works of art which have also been created by the human imagination .. it kind of makes you appreciate them a little more.  

Make that eleven.

Which came first? The egg: Laid by a protochicken.

Is it just me, or is Protochicken a great name for a metal band?

It's not just you.

Porcupine Tree is a weird name and that band is fucking awesome as fuck.

Wikipedia Wrote:Consider the expression:

"The smallest positive integer not definable in under sixty letters."

Since there are only twenty-six letters, there are finitely many phrases of under sixty letters, and hence finitely many positive integers that are defined by phrases of under sixty letters. Since there are infinitely many positive integers, this means that there are positive integers that cannot be defined by phrases of under sixty letters. If there are positive integers that satisfy a given property, then there is a smallest positive integer that satisfies that property; therefore, there is a smallest positive integer satisfying the property "not definable in under sixty letters". This is the integer to which the above expression refers. The above expression is only fifty-seven letters long, so this integer is defined by an expression that is under eleven words long; it is definable in under sixty letters, and is not the smallest positive integer not definable in under sixty letters, and is not defined by this expression. This is a paradox: there must be an integer defined by this expression, but since the expression is self-contradictory (any integer it defines is definable in under sixty letters), there cannot be any integer defined by it.

Just cuz it's cool.

That's does not actually contradict the statement it attempts to contradict.

The way I hear it, a bunch of knuckleheads attempt yearly to get on the federal dole for being a fucking nutbag like me. If it were merely imagination more would succeed. 

EDIT - and what happened? The name changing virus infected you as well? o.O

I don't think he's saying that schizophrenia is in your imagination; I think he's saying that schizophrenia hijacks your imagination and fucks up the separator between the part of your imagination that day-dreams and the part of your imagination that is responsible for turning your perceptions into a map of reality. If the brain starts throwing purely imaginary things in with the "real" stuff, you get hallucination, which is a common symptom of schizophrenia (and religion).
