From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice%27s_Adventures_in_Wonderland In Chapter 7 , the Hatter gives his famous riddle without an answer: "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" Although Carroll intended the riddle to have no solution, in a new preface to the 1896 edition of Alice , he proposes several answers: "Because it can produce a few notes, though… they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front!" (Note the spelling of "never" as "nevar"—turning it into "raven" when inverted. This spelling, however, was "corrected" in later editions to "never" and Carroll's pun was lost). Puzzle expert Sam Loyd offered the following solutions: Because the notes for which they are noted are not noted for being musical notes Poe wrote on both They both have inky quills Bills and tales are among their characteristics Because they both stand on their legs, conceal their steels (steals), and o...

O Stone be not so In palindromic fashion Mr. Gee (brashly presenting himself for the first time): Madam, in Eden , I’m Adam Ms. Stone (thinking): SOS EVE SOS Mr. Gee: O Stone be not so Ms. Stone: (referring to pet wolfs) Step on no pets! Mr. Gee: Too hot to hoot? Ms. Stone: Ma is a nun as I am Mr. Gee: Y flow wolfy? Ms. Stone: Kook! Mr. Gee: Level madam level!

Doc note: I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness; I diet on cod.

Recently, 3V3T5 mentioned that when we lived in Virginia , a man sort of chased him down and said, “I wanted that tag!” He had the 3V3T5 license plate on his Honda, so you always knew it was he following you in the rear view mirror. The man who stopped him had settled for the mere 3V3T2. Which reminds me, the other day S said that he still hasn't watched the famous Frisbee-disc film The Tao of 3V3T5 . I think I should bring the movie over to his house to watch it with him sometime soon. Maybe, while there I can snake out an even more obscure explanation about riddling license plates to Real Job in MHz .

FDR Democrat said... Try an anagram generator. Dick Cheney (Richard Bruce Cheney) anagrams to "Behead Rich Currency." Richard Milhous Nixon anagrams to "No! I shun horrid climax!" (Alternately spelled, Richard Milhouse Nixon anagrams to "His climax: Ruined Honor"). Thomas Loren Friedman (NYTimes' "moderate liberal" globalist) transforms to "Infernal Mad Smoother." Arnold Schwarzenegger anagrams to "He's grown large 'n' crazed." Ronald Wilson Reagan translates to "A long-insane warlord." Donald Henry Rumsfeld? "Fondly handles murder." Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin? "Vivid void, triumphal criminal." Augusto Pinochet Ugarte? "Naughtiest coup outrage." Augusto Pinochet? "One top US CIA thug." Albert Arnold Gore? "Groaned ballot err." Not exactly Melchizedek synchronicity, but Fortean nonetheless, if Dick Cheney beheads our currency. 8/11/2007 11:09:00 PM ...
