How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

I think this thread has now jumped the shark.

 

Define "know"

:evil:

Oh, Bossa Nova without doubt.

Consider your party pooped on

:mmph:

I also don't believe in pins

 

Oh Bunny, has it ever

 

I would believe the answer is: an indeterminate number of Angels could dance on the head of a pin. A pin is material and exists in the material world. An Angel is spiritual and exists in something other than the material world. Since we do not know exactly what this world is, the answer to the problem is..... indeterminate.

Rats. Now I'm getting a headache...

 

Let's just say I have a lot of personally experience with pricks.

 

Unless of course the angel's wing span protrudes from the spiritual world to the material world. I think there was a bad Travolta movie that covered this and the answer might be in the movie if you can sit through it. Of course the loose feathers from the wingspan might get in the way and have a mathematical effect on the equation but so would trying to figure out how Travolta is so religiously blessed to be paid generously to make bad movies when he is a devout scientologist.
Now I'm getting a headache.

 

Just because you asked it doesn't mean it's also not the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything.

 

Oh, then 42.

 

Mix yourself a good stiff drink. That always helps me

 

My cats are *much* nicer than your cat

:evil:

 

Rats? Just one I think.

 

ound:

Oh bunny, *way* off the rails ...

 

Wouldn't it be dangerous to dance on the head of a pin?

I suspect dancing shoes do not have the grippiest soles so a group of angels dancing on the head of a pin would surely be in breach of the ocupational health and safety act, so the angels would all be criminals. That would mean they would lose their angel status so the answer to the question, "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" is none!

Glad to be of service.

 

Of course, they would be in *clear* violation of various OSHA regulations.

Assuming they even existed ...

 

Seven.

 

If angels only existed in the spiritual realm, they wouldn't need wings, now would they? And, as everyone knows, white feathery wings are as much a part of angels as halos, so they obviously exist in the here and now, and therefore must possess mass and physical dimensions, indeterminate though they may be, that would, clearly, eventually overtax the surface area of said pin, however inevitably attracted angels are to such things, as they are wont to be. Speculation is merely a futile endeavour, indubitably ignorant as we are to the dimensions of said pin.

 

All right then .... eleventy three
