Bazza,

That's very nice of you, thanks!

John,

If you can, read George Pitcher's essay "Wittgenstein, Nonsense, and Lewis Carroll". It talks about how both men dealt with the same sort of language and logic curiosities but how Wittgenstein saw these phenomena as sources of anguish and Carroll saw them as jokes.

I think you'd agree that Carroll wins.
