HOWEVER, you coined it, so you define it. Mine was merely a suggestion of a possible interpretation. In any case, I thought it was kewl. |

08 Jul 01 - 04:55 PM (#501339) Subject: RE: BS:McGill Portable Toilets From: CarolC Interesting experiment, UB Ed. A similar one was conducted over a period of several months during the last year. The experiment generated four threads plus one thread about people who didn't participate in the experimental threads.
The experimental threads accumulated a total of 548 posts. The spin-off thread accumulated 61 posts. Dozens of limericks, poems, puns and other kinds of humor were posted to all of the threads, including the spin-off thread.
As a result of these threads, a minor subculture grew up within the Mudcat community that culminated in my taking a month and a half long trip to Canada and being crowned Ms. McGill 2001. |

25 Jul 01 - 09:28 PM (#514672) Subject: RE: BS: From: gnu 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. |
