   Well, OK, I suppose you could add something like 'BB(8000) is 6,' but once you go beyond ZFC, you're going beyond anything required for computation as we know it.

   Suppose BB(8000) could be computed: 1) Compute BB(8000). 2) Run the program specified in the article until it either halts or it runs for BB(8000)+1 steps. 3) We then know if the program ever halts, and then have a proof within ZFC whether

   Not only shades of anorexia. Looked at the recovered memory movement in the 90s where unhappy women decided either on their own or with the help of psychologists that the reason for their unhappiness was that they had been sexually abused
