Student realizes puzzling question

I have been wandering around Purdue campus for a long time, seeing what is on people's minds. I think I have finally figured out what people are so puzzled about. It's a question that has been bugging me, and the rest of Purdue, for quite sometime now. It's not "What is the meaning of life?" nor "Is there a God that exists?", and not even "What am I going to do after graduation?" The question that people have been struggling with is, "If I was a hotdog, and I was starving to death, would I eat myself?" Yes, that is the question — a question of physical desire versus all rational thought. God bless bratwursts.
