Pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate (Ockham's Razor)
William of Ockham (circa. 1285-1349) was an English Franciscan friar and philosopher, from Ockham, a small village in Surrey, near East Horsley.
William wrote, in Latin, Pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate, which translates literally into English as "Plurality should not be posited without necessity".
This became known as Ockham's Razor.
In its most simplest term, it means "the simplest explanation is usually the best".
I like it. Tell that to bureaucrats and academics!
........ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo........
I miss the weekend. Another solitary day. But the evenings are good. Monday is extra special as it means Desperate Housewives and a nice long brushing of my beautiful fur.
