| unless the glass is in the process of being filled, it must be in the process of becoming empty.  whether through consumption or evaporation, it is headed in the direction of being empty, and since the liquid fills half of the glass, then it has another half glass to empty.  Reference the items as pertaining to the task, the glass is half empty.  The glass is only half full when filling it.  (but even then, could it not be considered 1/4 empty, as the first half of the emptying task is to fill it?)

| Democrats would say that the glass is half empty. 
 Republicans would say, "Which Democrat stole half my water?"
 
 Ok. Old joke.

| The glass is completely full. Half of the volume contains a liquid of your choice, plus or minus ice. The other half contains air, or, depending on your brand of beer, foam.

| Say, can we do a poll on which came first, the chicken or the egg?  I've always wanted to know that.

| Actually, Wendy - neither the chicken nor the egg came first. The rooster did.

| If it is beer in the glass, it is most definately half empty, and a refill would be in order.
