How about those huge teeth? Do you think the flamingoes over by the glass elevator are safe?

Are those flamingos doing the cancan or do My eyes deceive me?

Deceiving eyes are deceptive, or are they deceitful perhaps, or maybe not?

I don't know how deceptive your eyes are, but what do I see? Flamingoes dancing the can can, alligators with huge teeth- one has my arms darn it, and over there DeepHour is wondering about semantics- can you believe it?! :lol:

Is there any relationship between semantics and semiotics, or is it all idiotics, or are we all going crazy?

What is semantics if not related semiotics? Isn't it just a different kind of idiotics?
Who isn't crazy after living on this inside out planet with a bunch of loons? Aren't we saner than most?

Is Sanity the new insanity, or is it the old insanity?

Hasn't it always been both? Weren't Galileo and Socrates considered insane in the past, but considered sane now? So, isn't the insanity of the past sanity now? Doesn't it stand to reason then, that those who are considered insane now will likely be considered sane in the future?

Or is insanity merely fleeting, and sanity is restored once the trials of life have receded?

Aren't they all good? Or is that my bibliophilic tendencies talking?
