Wasn't it originally tomato juice? If so, would that make me a pessimist for seeing it half full? I hate tomato juice.
Besides, in the English language, we say the glass is half full usually. That norm affects the way we think about it and ruins the test.

Yeah that's the exact same thing I was going to say. Which just goes to show there's no such thing as an original thought.Xhumed post=18.67734.609955 said:

I don't know if someone else has said this, I've never heard it before. If there are droplets of water in the top half then half has been drunk or spilled so it is half empty. If the previous condition is not met then it was only filled half way so it's half full.
If people stopped asking silly questions and just drank the damn thing then our world would be a lot happier.
I see the glass of water as meaningless, it's a [b\] glass [/b] of [b\] water [/b] and appears to be distracting us from the more important things in life. Do whatever you want with it, and go back to your life. Don't waste time thinking about it's metaphorical meaning.
