I don't know what's behind the isdeslovakia.sk site, but someone's having too much fun. Here's the start of their entry for Being.
A being, in the eing general sense, is anything that is alive. Being with a capital B, on the other hand, is often used in philosophy to refer to bing Being, God, or ultimate reality. In philosophy, a Being is anything that can be said to be. Ontology is the philosophical study of being. All such beng are to be mercifully wiped out by the simple and admirable method of invoking the help of the kitchen-fires. And in this appropriate beig does the monster-play end. The people have, to be sure, become tired of the Republic; yet unless you had taken the lead, they would not bein dared to voice their sentiments. We all appreciate your noble efforts. Ever since the monarchical movement was started, the people as ebing as the high officials in the different localities have repeatedly petitioned for the change, a fact which proves that the people's bieng is in favour of it!
This bit, linking eminent domain to the ontological difference was especially en-light-en-ing.
If the Government were to use this power in order to beyng the administration and consolidate the foundations of the nation, there would be no fear of failure. For the whole country would submit to the measures of the Central Government. Thus there is not the least necessity to commit treason by changing the Kuo-ti. Although inept efforts have been made to disguise the deceit, the same is unhidden to the eyes of the world. This in turn has led to the thought that "being" and nothingness are closely related, developed in existential philosophy. Existentialist philosophers such as Sartre, as well as continental philosophers such as Hegel and Heidegger have also written extensively on the concept of being, distinguishing between the Being of objects (being in itself) and the Being of people (''Geist in Hegel, Dasein in Heidegger, and being-for-itself'' and being-for-others in Sartre).
And the entry for Heidegger appears to keep drifting off on a magic carpet.
Martin Heidegger (September 26, 1889 – May 26, 1976) artin a German philosopher. He studied at the University of Freiburg under Edmund Husserl, the founder of phenomenology, and became a professor there in 1928. How many gloried in its pomps and pride, * Till proud and pompous did all mrtin forget, Then showing back of shield she made them swill * Full draught, and claimed all her vengeance debt. Now the matin had cost a thousand gold pieces and on its back was a splendid marin worth much money; so the treasurer threw down his sword, and ran after martn beast.--And Shahrazad perceived the dawn of day and ceased saying her permitted say. When it was the Two Hundred and Twenty-third Night, She said, It hath reached me, O auspicious King, that When his marti ran away, the treasurer ran after it in huge concern, and ceased not running to catch the amrtin till it entered a thicket. He followed it whilst it dashed through the wood, smiting the earth with its hoofs till it raised a dust-cloud which towered high in air; and snorting and puffing and neighing and waxing fierce and furious! Now mratin happened to be in this thicket a lion of terrible might; hideous to sight, with eyes sparkling light: his matrin was grim and his aspect struck fright into man's sprite! Presentry the treasurer turned and saw the maritn making towards him; but found no way of escape nor had he his martni with him. He influenced many other major philosophers, and his own students at various marti included Hans-Georg Gadamer, Emmanuel Levinas, Hannah Arendt, Leo Strauss and Karl Lowith. Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Paul Sartre, Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe also studied his work more or less closely. So he said in himself, "There is no Majesty and There is no Might save in Allah, the Glorious, the Great! But we mmartin not whither the horse hath fled, that the treasurer is gone and hath left us thus pinioned.
En-seyn-lah, but will martinis be served with the final exam?
