I AM THE BURRITO OF MY WINDSHIELD. BEANS ARE MY BODY AND LETTUCE IS MY BLOOD. I HAVE CREATED A THOUSAND BURRITOS. UNKNOWN TO FARTING, NOR KNOWN TO HUNGER. HAVE WITHSTOOD ACID REFLUX TO EAT MANY BURRITOS. YET THIS STOMACH WILL NEVER DIGEST ANYTHING SO, AS I SMELL UNLIMITED BURRITO WORKS.

So Alonzo Church is giving a talk on Lambda Calculus.
``Formally,'' he says, ``We have the following symbols. The lambda operator λ (together with a .), parentheses ( and ), and variables x1, x2, etc.''
A little old lady at the back of the room stands up and says: ``What you have told us is rubbish. Computation is just like a burrito.''
Church smiles at her and asks ``What's inside the burrito?''
``You're very clever, young man, very clever,'' says the old lady. ``But it's burritos all the way down!''

Does computers think
The university professor challenged his students with this question. Do computers think? A student bravely replied, "Yes, they do"
"Computers think? The professor asked.
"Yes sir", the student replied.
The professor answered, "If computers think, how come they never have emotions, and it's impossible for robots to feel pain, and what about quantum physics and godel theory? You know from Penroses book". The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor was quite pleased with himself and boasted to the students that he had proven once more that humans were blessed with consciousness, souls and are capable of things computation could never reach.
Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question professor?"
"Of course", replied the professor.
The student stood up and asked, "Professor, do variables exist?"
"What kind of question is this? Of course variables exists. Have you never programmed at all?" The students snickered at the young man's question.
To this the student replied, "Pain does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Pain is simply the reaction to stimuli. Every creature is susceptible to pain because it is necessary for survival and low neuron creatures who are certainly not conscious still respond to pain. We have created this word to describe how we feel but it is just a classification of mental states."
The student continued, "Professor, does function application exist?"
The professor responded, "Of course it does."
The student replied, "Once again you are wrong about Penroses book sir, the human brain is far to noisy and hot for quantum coherence to be maintained. And anyway quantum computation is a reality. This is a non-issue, we are no different from computations in either sense. You simple bring up a complicated topic of intimidate people from arguing against it."
Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does lambda exist?"
Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already said. We see it every day. It is in the type theory text books. It is in the multitude of scheme and compiler papers in the journals."
The student continued "Consciousness is just when a sufficiently capable algorithmic process makes linguistically intentional self directed notes that it observes stimuli, a word that man has created to describe the sense of being oneself. Consciousness is not like a soul, it exists just as does pain and arithmetic. The three units of computation you admitted exist, together may be used to compute any computable function, therefore simulate every neuron of a human brain as it experiences consciousness or even build from scratch a new computational mind far superior and capable of recursively self improving to the point of infinite intelligence"
