Unlike BURIDAN'S DONKEY, this donkey is not a donkey... He chose to have a drink! ;)
BURIDAN'S DONKEY is an illustration of a paradox in philosophy concerning the conception of free will. It refers to a hypothetical situation wherein a donkey is placed equidistant to a stack of hay and a pail of water. Since the paradox assumes the donkey will always go to whichever is closer, he will stupidly die of both hunger and thirst since he cannot make any rational decision to choose one over the other. The paradox is named after the 14th century French philosopher Jean Buridan, whose philosophy of moral determinism it satirises. (from Wikipedia, slightly modifyed)
