I saw the Made For TV Film of The Week on Oxygen.
Quantum Mechanic: The glass is either full or empty. Half way is mere statistics.
The glass is insufficiently engineered to hold the given amount of liquid.
There is no glass; there is only your perception of reality.
If you freeze the liquid in the glass, you have to re-start pondering the question from square one.
If you boil the liquid…
Frat Boy: Get me a new beer!
(Alternatively: well it looked full before the head settled!)

I prefer the engineer’s answer:
The glass isn’t half-empty or half-full. The glass is TOO BIG.

This produced in me a musing of the perfect engineer’s glass: one that shrinks as the fluid within is drunk. I then imagined what this process would look like.
I think I’m high now. :eek: Gonna go lie down.
Don’t know if it was an accurate quote, but Lt. Dieter Dengler as played by Christian Bale in Rescue Dawn was said to have offered this advice to his camarades, “When something is empty, fill it. When something is full, empty it.".
Seems like the Buddhist philosophy of the glass.

That’s Heisenberg. I think it is, anyway.

There’s no way to be certain.

I cite the old engineer’s ten percent slide rule approximation.

Slide rule.. Why not the abacus rule. You will confuse the young uns with that reference.

You know, I did forget about the kiddies.
Lookie here!
While you’re giggling, think about what was developed using this thing. 
That being said, good riddance.
Wait, why can’t the glass be half full and half empty? All we have to do is define full as being the part with the liquid, and the empty as the part without liquid.
Also, what if the jello was in the glass? “I have a bowl half full of jello! No it’s half empty! Oh shut up and eat your jello!” Haha that’s funny.

Clearly, you’ve become unhinged by the whole discussion.

Hey! We should ask Bill. About the half thing I mean.

But then, the part with the liquid is by definition entirely full and the part without is entirely empty.
