Subject: RE: BS:
I wanted to know if I understood why as I percieved it to be intended. I think I know why, but how could I ? Only by confirmation of my perception by the intender. Ergo, I asked if I would be a duck when viewed from "within" the plane, i.e., left and right. Perhaps, the duck in the plane would be invisible, given that the duck's plane is soooo small, so to speak. Or, could one postulate that the duck has two legs, each discernable within the plane, if only mathematically so ? Of course, if the duck's legs are discernable in such fashion, so it must be for the duck. Given that, I could not be a duck from left and right, but must be an "upside-down" why. However, this still does not accomodate duck hips, without which the duck could not exist, even mathematically so. Essentially, I propose that the duck has two legs, albeit the same, but why ? Well, that's a different question.

And I'm still waiting for an answer.

Oh yeah. Excuse me. Beer and geometry do give me brain farts.
