You guys are "real" aren't you?

Depends how you define proof. Can you ever say with 100% certainty something doesn't exist? No. Can you prove it beyond a reasonable doubt? Yes. I mean I'm assuming most people here would agree Santa isn't real (sorry if I'm bursting a bubble) but no you can't absolutely prove he isn't.
You also can't 100% prove something is real. Cogito, ergo sum might have helped Descartes sleep at night but can you be 100% that we aren't all part of a complex simulation and that our thoughts aren't just subroutines within our program?

Yeah I think we'll hit 5 easy...
Santa isn’t real? :(
 
Ha! Humorous fellow human, we are not a robot.

We must be real! Robot over lords don't have a sense of humor......I watched 2001 last night......kinda got robots on the brain....computers on a bicycle and what does it all mean...hmmmm...just realized that my cut and paste of HAL sorta looks like another character in that movie

Hey, that looks like one of my icons....
 
Classic Cylon.

In many ways I prefer the original series over the new. But I also prefer the original Star Trek series and the original Star Wars movie as well. You can't duplicate that wow factor on a young mind.
