Is your glass half-full or half-empty?

[F. King Daniel]

You have a glass of water. That glass has 50% water and 50% empty space in it.

Is the glass half-full or half-empty?


I say it's half-empty. I guess that makes me a negative person .

 

[SPCTRE]

Half-full, I'm the eternal optimist

(Edit: That's part of why I like Star Trek.)

 

[Miss Chicken]

Definitely half-full. I have always been an optimist.

 

[Hermiod]

It's not even half-empty.

 

[RJDiogenes]

It's half full, until I finish filling it.

 

[Jetfire]

My glass broke.

 

[thestrangequark]

Mine tends to be either overflowing or shattered on the floor.

 

[Lindley]

Half nothing. Try 48%.

 

[StarryEyed]

There is no such property as emptiness, only degrees of fullness.

 

[iguana_tonante]

Mine is twice as big as it needs to be.

 

[trekkiedane]

Depends:

If I'm in the process of filling it, it's ½ full, but if I'm in the process of emptying it it's ½ empty.

However; I 'voted' ½ full due to semantics; that's what it's called in Danish!

 

[SPCTRE]

Mine is twice as big as it needs to be.

That's what she said.

 

[Squiggy]

Neither.

My glass is half-drunk.

 

[Geckothan]

Half-full... of vodka.

 

[Santaman]

To the optimist, the glass is half full.

To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.

To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be...

 

[scotpens]

Mine is half full, but it's got some weird disgusting crap floating in it.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

Mine is half full, but it's got some weird disgusting crap floating in it.

Depends on the time of the month.

 

[auntiehill]

At this point, I'm not even aware that thereis a glass.

 

[Amaris]

As long as I have a glass, I am content.

I tend to think of myself as a half-full kinda guy ..., though my husband would disagree. If he's right, it's probably because I grew up in a family where, if asked if the glass was half-full or half empty, my mom would inevitably have said it didn't really matter because one of us damn brats was just gonna knock it over anyway.
