Re: OHO! (4.00 / 2)

The Tale of how Ivan Ivanovich Quarrelled with Ivan Nikiforovich is the funniest thing ever written in the history of everything ever written.

Re: OHO! (none / 0)

Yes, it is. All "fiction" is poetry.

Re: OHO! (none / 0)

Futhermore, mathematics is poetry. The definition of poetry is intepretation of language.

p.s. PDF is on my drive ;) (none / 0)

and FTP. Inquiries welcomed.

Your GOOG mining reminded me of some reconn I did a few months ago on the topic "participatory realism," i.e. "magical thinking." I used to quote Piaget extensively from books that I own. I found that my comment here ranks in top ten.

Inquiries welcomed.

GOGOL (none / 1)

I think I saw ThatBritGuy use it. Also my eight-year-old granddaughter who picked up the name from overheard conversations (in French, where Google may be pronounced closer to Gogol), and turned it into her favourite insult. In her language, it applies to anyone who is pushing her around or being generally annoying, so, quite often, her elder sister, who gets called espèce de Gogol!

Nikolai is a great story-teller.
