So Im gonna start a new bi-weekly thread based on The Mclaughlin Group and SNL's great send up of TMG, Every Monday I will give a discussion topic and give everybody until Friday to chime in on the subject, then I will yell WRONG!* and provide the correct Mclaughlin answer. Then you will get a new topic for the weekend.
*There's a small chance of me telling you that you are correct.
First Discussion Topic
(It helps if you imagine Mclaughlin's voice)
Is the glass half-empty or half-full?! GO!

Half full, but it's the bottom half. Bummer.

The glass is twice as large as it has to be in order to contain the specific amount of fluid currently in it.

| The glass is not even worth considering unless it contains premium vodka strained with ice, a hint of vermouth, and a skewer with cocktail onions. If it does contains these items, the glass will soon be all empty. |

The glass is an illusion similar to the delusion I'm having of Mclaughlin's voice in my head. Followed by Bananarama. |

| Gosh. If I just drank half of the glass of water, than it's half-full. But If I asked for water at a restaurant and the waiter poured me half a glass of water, I would see it as half-empty. So there you go... |

| Try to realize the truth: there is no glass. Then you'll see, that it is not the glass that is half-empty or half-full, it is only yourself. |

Filthy.....
Your Klein bottle can only be filled by a topless waitress in a in a Möibus strip joint!
A mathematician named Klein
Thought the Möbius band was divine.
Said he: "If you glue
The edges of two,
You'll get a weird bottle like mine."
The TV series Futurama has a brand of beer, Klein's Beer, sold in a Klein bottle.

WRONG!
Trick Question! Anything which is half-empty is also half-full. The neutral position is they only valid one without context. Also the glass was on the moon.

Great answers everyone, particularly the baby's blood, very funny, unlike TNT sitcoms. |
