    This conversation is going too meta for me. :)

    --

    Edit: Added the (famous) limerick below and changed to to too too. Two Os are better than one, i guess:

    A tutor who tooted the flute
    Tried to tutor two tooters to toot;
    Said the two to the tutor,
    “Is it harder to toot, or
    To tutor two tooters to toot?”

      Meta? Did someone mention metahumour?

      • I’ve never meta-joke I didn’t like.1
      • A priest, a rabbi and a leprechaun walk into a bar. The leprechaun looks around and says, “Saints preserve us! I’m in the wrong joke!” 1
      • “The sources of quotes found on the internet are not always reliable.” — Abraham Lincoln.3; cf. 2
      • Condemn ambiguity and other stuff.3
      • Today’s Horoscope: “You are easily influenced by what you read and have the ability to make vague sentences somehow applicable to your own existence.” 1
      • There are three things an engineer has to master: 1. Estimation 3. Interpolation.3
      • To Joanna:
        My brilliant and beautiful wife without whom I would be nothing. She always comforts and consoles, never complains or interferes, asks nothing and endures all, and writes my dedications.
        — A.P. Malvino, Electronic Principles (1993)2,4
      • xkcd: Hofstadter
      • And now, Google for recursion (“Did you mean ...”)

      This conversation is going to meta for me. :)

      I think that is a fine destination, but I don't think it was headed there just as a service to you. ;)

      - tye        

        Too funny!

        Edited and noted.

        "...going to meta..."

        ...and every day i have the meta blues.

        Listen also:
