Very subtle and clever. Me likes. :biggrin: :hehe:
Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

I read that yesterday and didn't even make the connection.

Very good!

I think that language has a lot to do with interfering in our relationship to direct experience. A simple thing like metaphor will allows you to go to a place and say 'this is like that'. Well, this isn't like that. This is like this.

Yeah, no one else either on the strip comment thread made connection, it seems. I would have thought rd.net and xkcd forums have wider user overlap..
