About 2500 years ago a group of Greek philosophers discussed the question,
"What is the briefest possible definition of man?"
Plato suggested: "Man is a two-legged animal."
Another philosopher, however, exposed this definition's limitations by fetching a rooster.
He held it up and said, "Behold Plato's man!"
They pondered in silence a few moments until one of the thinkers exclaimed,
"I have it! Man is a religious animal."
