Philosopher's cake


I don't know why, but the philosophy department shared cake and cheese with the linguists today. When I asked what the chocolate thing was I was told, "You know, like, chocolate?"

And thus was sparked intense discussion in the philosophy department about what precisely makes it chocolate. Is it first chocolate, and so they think it is? Or does thinking its chocolate make it so? Is it the fact of telling you it's chocolate make it so? Or is there an inherent essence of chocolateness? By this point, the chocolate was gone, and no one could say for certain if it was ever truly there...
