"Achmed's Razor"-What is it?

I heard this phrase on TV. The interwebs has given me very little help. So does the flood know what this phrase or thing or whatever means?
English

  • I assume you mean [i]Occam's razor[/i] not "achmed's". Basically it's a principle named after William of Occam, a 14th century philosopher. The generalization states that, if there are a number of explanations for observed phenomena, the simplest explanation is preferred. Also called scientific parsimony.

  • Sounds like either a landmark or some joke Jeff Dunham has made. EDIT: Maybe a torture technique, where did you hear it at? The news? [Edited on 07.10.2009 12:17 PM PDT]
