Wonderful!
Burton AND Carroll.
Only on Eratosphere!
Now--I realize this is a dreary commonplace,
but someone above mentioned that parodying
nonsense verse was pointless (was it Roger?),
and yet . . . that "Double Rule of Three
has me intrigued. Can some Martin Gardner-like
scholar out there suggest some elucidation,
probably of a mathematical/logical character?
Carroll teases and teases us toward sense--sometimes
scary sense. Whoever writes The Great Book
on him has my undying appreciation.
Just thought I'd ask.
