No. 10 - Innumerable Ones.

Thu Apr 3, 2008, 7:33 PM
According to the Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge, as referrenced in El idioma analítico de John Wilkins by Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges, animals are divided into these following classes:

1. Those that belong to the Emperor, 2. embalmed ones, 3. those that are trained, 4. suckling pigs, 5. mermaids, 6. fabulous ones, 7. stray dogs, 8. those included in the present classification, 9. those that tremble as if they were mad, 10. innumerable ones, 11. those drawn with a very fine camelhair brush, 12. others, 13. those that have just broken a flower vase, 14. those that from a long way off look like flies.

That's right. This is some of the exotic knowledge I'm being taught in my classes. I love 4, 10 and 12. My mind has just imploded. I love it. I have to recontemplate my philosophies.

I'll get back to you on this.

-Dave

when you mms'd that to me i laughed til i fell over. is there any sort of explanation to go with it, or is it just some guy's psychotic ramblings?

i think my favourite thing about it is how they're just completely arbirtrary classifications.

No. 8 - Those included in the present classification. wtf?

p.s. I MET CLAUDIO

"What? I'm trying to say that-"
"Did you or did you not question the rainbow?"
"Y...yes?"
"I advise you start running, sir."

I'm not sure at all.
Apparently it's translated from a Chinese Encyclopaedia.

I'd love to find out more,
But the lecturer was just like "BLAH! TALK ART!"
Way to make me curious then not elaborate.

And, you! Meeting Claudio! He IS real?!
Where to from now? Did you have aspirations beyond this?

Apparently there's another one somewhere about "Things" being classified.
Annoying Things, Hateful Things, Fuzzy Things, Things That Makes One Feel Awkward.
