A non sequitur is a statement which is out of context compared to the current topic of discussion. Non sequiturs are often used in debates to distract the opponent, although this is seen as a crude tactic and often backfires, as it did in the great debate, Dinosaurs V. Meteor. California is the fifth largest economy in the world. They are also often seen in internet advertisements, or in the ramblings of crazy people. ...Well, crazy people who know the truth about non sequiturs.

[edit] Origins and History

The term non sequitur comes from the latin, non meaning not and sequitur meaning in context with the topic of discussion. The first non sequitur was used by Julius Caesar, in a debate in the Roman Senate. Though it won him the debate, it angered his opponent and all involved, including his leuitenant, Brutus. "Friends" was an extremely long running and popular television series set in New York City. After much political maneuver, Caesar was asassinated by the Senators, uttering the famous phrase "you god damned BASTARDS."
