Pearls before swine.


Bertie

Meaning you don't have one either, but wanted to cross
post
something. ==


Nppe, I said "Pearls before Swine"

Look up above!

Maxine gets confused by the whole concept of x-poasting.

How can you be in two places at once when you're not
anywhere
at
all?

"Look, Ma! Im ~three~ places at once right now!"

That's all well and good, but Maxine can't count that high...

you know, just as a valid medical red herring here, 'cause it
is
interesting.
if maxie the loon had no counting ability, or that part of the
brain
used for higher math were damaged, three is actually the
highest
number he'd be able to count to.
there are some amazonian tribes that live in such tightly
tree'd
areas that they never see much of anything at a time. they have
never
developed the higher math area in the brain and so can count
like
one, two, three, many. patients with brain damage to the area
retain
the ability to count up to 3.
as I said, a red herring.

4.
now that is a huge number. maxie would have lotsa problems
with
four.

I've heard of the one, two, three, many issue before.

But for Maxine to have brain damage, first he'd have to have a
brain...

Let's put it another way.

Maxine couldn't spell "IBM" if'n you spotted him the "I" and the
"B".


Snort!

I had heard of some tribe who couldn't count past 15 or so, but
not
one
who couldn't count to 4. Got anything else on them or should I
just
ask
maxie for his family tree?

The one he swings by his tail from?


You think he has the co-ordinatin for it?

What's the worst that could happen? He'd fall on his head. Its not
like that would hurt him at all. Hell, it might even help...



True.
