This is the point in time when all the philosophy students in the audience begin to giggle, as they are familiar with the philosophical proposition of Cogito ergo sum, or I think, therefore, I am.
But to explain the concept aforehand would be putting Descartes before the horse.
Yes indeed, I posted that many moons ago in the Joke thread, though in the version I heard back then it was Descartes himself who disappears.
